In these parts, you can make friends just by talking trash about the multiflora rose. They're evil for many reasons: They're vicious and thorny, they grow like (pardon) weeds, they spawn all over the place and they will take over your land if you let it. Jody discovered on the internet recently that the favorite method for multiflora removal is a bulldozer. Well, we don't have a bulldozer. But we have loppers, and we're not afraid to use them! Here's the before photo:
And here's the after:
The next step is for Jody to get out there with a shovel and dig out the root ball. And then we'll mow with religious fervor. Wish us luck! The next victims are the staghorn sumac...

GRRRRRRR die weed die! We got the killen fever over on Maple Ave as well. I have nightmares of being trapped by knot weed. It really is so so gross. It has gone from being baby aliens to zombie fingers poking through the earth. They're awesomely fun to stomp on. Doesn't do anything for the insane root system underneath though. It's full on war over here!
