Prior to Dex posting that picture, this may have been the longest thread I've read where the conversation didn't get derailed into something sexual or anatomical. Good job guys!

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

^^^ and it's still mostly on track. It only counts as derailed if the rest of the thread follows the tangent...

BOOBS AND {insert sexually deviant urban dictionary term}

Whammo, this bitch has now been derailed.

I can't remember, did they ever learn to read?

Derailing continues.. Thanks in part to Ble for sharing this last month.

Airbrush or not, that is awesome.

And I just thought of something following my last comment. Do you find it funny that bonelesss plots of muscle, fat, and skin can be awesome? That's all it is; a mass of soft tissue.

I was out pulling the little yellow devils and I noticed they seem to be getting stronger, more powerful than ever. Perhaps they like the fight. One plant had (13) flowers on it. Mocking me all the way!!!

The weed I've had the most problem with this year are thistle. Some sick & twisted love child between a dandelion and cactus. Really sucks when you find them with your bare feet...

Good thing is that the weed & feed seems to work well on them too, except in areas where I don't get good coverage (typically along the border between sod & sidewalk).

We got thistles up here too. I crush them every year. They are tough to kill, but you at least have to keep them from flowering.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Easiest way to kill them is to pull them up. Unfortunately, the only way to pull them is with a chain, a winch, and a 5000lb deadman...

All I can say is.......

Freakin' bahaia grass!!

 

[FLBuff PE]

I have the solution to everyone's problem. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

I have the solution to everyone's problem. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

I believe this has already been discussed:

I've heard that dousing with gasoline and lighting it will also cause a long-term dead spot. :true:

 

[cdcengineer]

Update... So we decided to spray with vinegar for the past couple of weeks. They do seem to be dying. It has taking 3 gallons thus far and multiple spray attempts. We'll see once the rains come (monsoon comes typically in July) if they are actually dead or just temporarily slowed down. Keep in mind, I had soe that were bigger than any head of cabbage I had ever seen. Die you yellow Bas%^^rds!
