The invasives seem to be particularly nasty this year. I chalk it up to several factors- high heat stressing the 'good plants' & the flooding rains we had negating any weed control efforts. Gettin' ready to live in the fields next week. - -Jim Mild to Wild(R) ----------------------------- Arghhh, sucks, don't it?!? We've weeded everything right back, and it's all looked good, then we start to worry about the ground dryness and lack of water replenishment in the water butts from lots of dry, sunny days, but, few weeds. Next everything gets a long overdue drenching, ya blinks, and the buggras are back worse than before. If only our crops grew as fast and readily, eh? ',;~}~ Shaun aRe sure the answer is in a genetic adition of certain weed DNA segments to our chile plants, heheheh...
