I raptured tremendous numbers of them this weekend.

Well, there may not have been a worlwide Rapture and Armageddon this weekend, but there was one at my house. Well, at least if you were a dandelion, thistle, henbane, curly dock, clump of quackgrass, etc.

Two days without rain (during the daytime, anyway, rained in the night) allowed me to get out there this weekend and FINALLY get to some heavy-duty weeding.

And, the conditions were ideal -- all of the rain had left the ground very soft and the weeds incredibly easy to pull.

I killed thousands, literally. Very satisfying to clean up the beds after a long winter and wet, cold, gloomy spring. It looks so much better now without weeds popping up everywhere.
