Gardening

We may have finally killed off the Mexican petunias - covered them with black plastic for a year to cook the roots. Sprayed the survivors coming up around the edges with herbicide - THREE times. So far they don't seem to be coming back.

Ardisia will be the next battle - they are sprouting anywhere the birds hang out - the people that have moved into the subdivisions that now surround us planted it and the Chinese tallow and the birds happily spread the seeds.

They are KNOWN to been invasive and the nurseries still sell the damn plants. As I replant, I am going all native plants. I need to join the local native plant group to get some advice.
