I've been wanting to do this for a while but never really had the guts, or energy to do it. I'm not such a good gardner, never have been. In my life garden, there are usually a couple of really big, beautiful flowers that come back year after year. Some new flowers come in and make a good border, but generally speaking there are a lot of dandelions and weeds. That's really my own fault, for not weeding and fertilizing as much as I should. After careful consideration, I've decided to start pulling the weeds.
These weeds come and they mulitply. Eventually, what ends up happening is these weeds try to take over. The gardner knows these pesky weeds will do this but unfortunately is too busy, lazy, tired, whatever the excuse may be, to take care of the problem. The gardner hears it from other gardners how she needs to control her weed problem, but ignores the problem instead of dealing with it. Now, like I said. occassionally there are a couple of dandelions. The dandelions are still considered weeds, but arean't as easy to see through. They come off as pretty, bright yellow flowers, trying to fit in...but in reality they're not only lying to the gardner, but also to themselves.
As a gardner, I don't like being lied to. In fact, I despise it. I've got enough in my greenhouse without having to be lied to about stupid things. What's actually quite humorous is this gardner is no stranger to being lied to, by weeds and dandelions. This garnder knows a lie, and though it may not seem obvious, she stores it in her gardening glove for later use. She probably shouldn't do that. She really should just pull the weed immediately, but instead she resorts to her old ways. You see, the difference between a weed and a dandelion is the weed lies, knowing they will get caught in that lie but doesn't really care (I was a weed once). Then, the lies keep spreading and spreading until they become out of control (I am now a terrible liar and tend to get caught if I even THINK about lying!). A dandelion, on the other hand, will lie to you but think you don't know the truth, when in all actuality, this gardening community is very small and the truth comes around much, much quicker than they think. You see, other gardners talk, gardners they think would never tell anyone else their gardening secrets. But they do.
So...I have officially started weeding my garden. If you are reading this and I studdenly stop talking to you for no apparent reason, consider yourself weeded! (Just kidding...sorda)
