This first post is kind of dedicated to the Eckersons; Nate and Emily, we were serious when we told you this stuff is terrible, and very difficult to remove! (as you will see in the photos) :)
Last weekend we went to a Masquerade Ball in Massachusetts ( I will post about that when I get the pictures from Brian), and Mom came home from Texas. When our tired dancing feet got back to Maine soil, we took the week to take care of the gardens and yard. Tuesday was the flower gardens/swing area day. When weeding near the Bluebird house, Amanda discovered it..... the BITTERSWEET HAD COME BACK!!!!!!!AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!! the stuff spreads by root and if you miss a piece of it, it will come back.
So Amanda and I got a digging fork and started ripping the stuff out...
Hard working Amanda!
Amanda and I found it had grown at least five feet from the little base she found sticking out of the ground.
I am now on the iMac and Samuel didn't load any of the pictures from that day on here, so this will conclude the first post from " The Chronicles of Life at Barton Manor", ...... stay tuned!
