    we've got a tiny patch of dirt infront of our house, it's like 3 feet square at the most. It includes a tiny baby evergreen and some delicate little purple flowers.
    Or, it used to. It's been over run by milkweed. The shit is like 4 feet tall and it's taken all the sun from the other plants and the little purple flowers are gone. The baby pine is in the centre of it all, i fear for it. There's at least 10 milkweed stalks in the one area. Its staring to look like a corn field.

    what do i do, oh whatever do i do???

    what the fuck is milkweed?

    pull it out by the roots. pull straight up and steady. if ya can't get the roots by pulling, take a little garden hand shovel and sort of cut into the soil around it. i don't know what the situation over there is, but over here a bare patch of dirt doesn't stay bare for long. you have to tend to it. i think they call it gardening.

    we use burlap bags from the local coffee roaster to cover the bare spots in the garden so they don't get all weedy.

    If it's podding, you can pick them and marinate them and use them instead of capers.

    moonit- milkweed is a plant, common name for members of the Asclepiadaceae, a family of mostly perennial herbs and shrubs characterized by milky sap, a tuft of silky hairs attached to the seed (for wind distribution), and (usually) a climbing habit.
    It is also the soul food source of the Monarch butterfly.

    dave- "i think they call it gardening."
    ahahHAHAHA fuck you, ass.
    It's not bare. It was once lush with little plants. I'm not much of a gardiner. The patch has been tending to itself problem free for the last 8 years or so. Goddamn milkweed.

    Lapis- that's very interesting.

    Oh. We call it something else here, but I can't remember what.
