No, not my mother-in-law - Charlie...
Creeping Charlie.
The temperatures in Minnesota have been warmer than usual and by mid-March all of our snow was gone. It's still too early to do any serious gardening, but the thawing ground made it a good time to clean the gardens.
I was eager to make the most of my time thinking that I was ahead of schedule. Apparently the Creeping Charlie had similar thoughts. Don't let those delicate purple flowers fool you, it's just a trick while they send runners ensuring they will be there long after the flowers are gone.
I'm not a fool anymore: Die Charlie, die! (But many, many years to my mother-in-law.)
I rather like Creeping Charlie, myself...
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of those in our yard... I just let them be... They are green and don't grow as tall as the grass (they are mostly in what used to be the garden). If they were in the garden I'd be right with you though!
ReplyDeleteIf you come up with a good way to get rid of this stuff, let us know.
