Yesterday I chopped off an oak seedling up towards the front of the side yard, under the camellias, then crawled under the plum tree and got rid of all its suckers that I could see, plus another three oak seedlings. Today I mowed the backyard (driving the dogs visiting next door into a frenzy) and got rid of all the purple flowers that had been sprouting in the meadow there. I have plant blood on my hands.
