Sometimes I like to pick up a rake and put on garden gloves and just work in the yard. It’s a great way to get some exercise while getting work done around the house. Now that Edison is able to walk on his own, it’s also a great activity to do together. Mommy puts dead leaves into the trash and he empties it out again. Sometimes he also helps me pull up my healthy plants by the roots. I guess he doesn’t want to procrastinate on next year’s pruning. The other day as I was raking up the dead weeds and leaves in the backyard, I came across a weed that I wasn’t able to pull. It also didn’t help that I only had one garden glove. Whatever didn’t get pulled by the strength of one arm was left to grow freely. Within a few weeks, I the weed has grown to practically to my height and still growing. I still have not gotten around to purchasing a new pair of garden gloves so the weed will be left alone until then. I wonder how long it will take for it to fruit into a tree? Only time will tell. I’m watching anxiously. Yes, this post is about a weed.
