   Our pines and oaks do the same … welcome to grow in the woods out back, or among the other trees, but really NOT WANTED in my waist-height raised bed garden!

   Oh heck! That isn’t what anyone wanted to hear for you, either. Sending prayers for good advice and healing for you.

   Fight it – and make sure your surgeon is aware of what the insurer is trying to pull. I know you need the surgery, but without appropriate care afterwards, it’s a recipe for disaster!

   I must disagree with your mother. You are a fine person and very welcome here!

   “Weeds”, a misnomer, since all plants have their niche in the natural world, are plants that are well-adapted to survive in spots where other plants may struggle. Since most of the “useful” plants we grow are highly modified to fit human needs, it’s not surprising that they have lost some of the genetic diversity that helps wilder plants thrive.

   Then there is the issue of introduced plants; plants that have been taken from their natural environment and taken to a place that lacks the controls to keep them in check. At “home”, they are grazed on, killed off by diseases or hostile weather, or forced to compete with their neighbors … when they are relocated, those factors may not exist, so they are able to grow with wild abandon. A good case in point is Kudzu; in its native highlands, the winters are severe enough to control the spread. When it was transplanted to the SE United States to control erosion, the warm winters allowed it to spread far and wide. Now, it’s known as “The Plant that Ate the South”.

   We had saucer sleds that we used on the rare occasions when we had enough snow … then there was a humongous snow storm that hit North and South Carolina during the last few days of Christmas vacation, so we got another whole week off from school! We built sled runs going down the hill from the house; eventually, we included the driveway (long and too steep for cars to get up when it was covered with ice). The sled would shoot down the driveway, hit a ramp of snow and then arc up and land in the highway median. Thankfully, the highway was closed by that point – farther up into the mountains, it completely impassable.

   HUZZAH!

   Well-deserved, of course; you’ve created a wonderful little slice of kindness here and it is much appreciated.

    I agree; just leave him home and take him for a walk later on.
