Well - MY driveway is on the Righ...Ha ha ha Doug!!<br /><br />Well - MY driveway is on the Right! Plus I tore up my front lawn years ago, much to the chagrin of some of my neighbours!! (some even tried to stop me with a petition to city hall - which of course I fought and won!!)<br /><br />I have many flowers, yes, cuz I like em, but I also have my tomatoes, my beets, peas lettuce, many herbs, sask berries, blackberries, raspberries - all old varieties. I did however kill my plum tree this year - as it was being a weed. <br /><br />:O<br /><br />Thanks, though - I will stick a few more up.<br /><br />Oh, and the flower you see with the bindweed, is the bindweed's flower. It really is quite pretty - which is why it's so insidious. People who don't know, leave it - then whammo next year it's everywhere, killing everything.Magdelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915263164804985540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57584715423819767.post-26980847819139932002009-06-17T17:44:47.214-04:002009-06-17T17:44:47.214-04:00I think the Bind Weed complements the flowers quit...I think the Bind Weed complements the flowers quite well.<br /><br />I bet our immune systems would be much better if we didn't manage plants around our living areas.<br /><br />I can see the Rockefellers, way back when, gathered in a room of the elites showing the group what everyones house will look like in 75 years. See the grass ? See the gardens ? See the driveways on the left side of everyones house ? We are going to make them put numbers on their houses too... Whoa Whoa Whoa Hoa Hoa Whoa...trying to make those creepy laughing noises that always come with haunted houses...<br /><br />They won't be able to go into their backyards to shoot or pick something to eat - they will be working for us !<br /><br />Maybe I'm too deep into all this..<br /><br />Your photos are great though.Doug Plumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398407489022244485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57584715423819767.post-7894566328610930022009-06-17T08:48:40.344-04:002009-06-17T08:48:40.344-04:00Bindweed

As ...Thanks Doug, I might just toss up a few more.<br /><br />As far a what a 'weed' is I take the position that a weed is simply a plant growing in a place where I don't want it to.<br /><br />Hence, I have currently many weeds in the form of grass, ferns, iris, geranium, phlox, blackberries, roses and a dogwood growing with a vengeance! :O<br /><br />Oh and then there's bindweed - which no matter where it is is ALWAYS a weed!!! ;)<br /><br />I'm just a)too busy or b) too lazy to do much about them right now.Magdelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915263164804985540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57584715423819767.post-32706638350773825432009-06-17T06:01:16.091-04:002009-06-17T06:01:16.091-04:00What makes us consider some plants "weeds&quo...What makes us consider some plants "weeds" and others desirable ?

Blame Skye!! ;)<br /><br />Now, as for my 'bleeding heart' - haha I have none!! LOL.<br /><br />Actually, mine seems to have died over the winter. The one at Dad's was nice, but of course now it's kinda yellow and sad.<br /><br />That's the only pink peonie I have - I rescued it from being consumed by the cedar hedge in the back - had no idea it was pink for a couple of years until if finally bloomed for me. I have four more monsterous deep dark burgundy ones - they are SO fragrant!! The pink one here has NO smell. Wierd.<br /><br />Hey, I thought of you yesterday - I had a rose breasted grosbeak visiting my feeders!

It's a ...Nobody - it's the camera, really.<br /><br />It's a Canon Power Shot A400. It's about four, maybe five years old. I think I paid around 200$ for it.<br /><br />It does alot of things of which I know nothing. It makes movies etc. I'm trying to learn how to set it to panorama and longer exposure, to no avail.<br /><br />It has a wriststrap - which is good because I'm known for dropping cameras. I've dropped this one even so!! <br /><br />I'm kinda clutzy sometimes... hee hee.<br /><br />:)Magdelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915263164804985540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57584715423819767.post-64302446415277790192009-06-16T02:10:07.648-04:002009-06-16T02:10:07.648-04:00Hey Buff, what sort of camera did you use?

And yes, yes, I expect you had something to do with it as well...<br /><br />I'm asking because I'm thinking of buying a camera. It seems the new ones are really really good and not very expensive. Well, that's what I'm hoping, anyway.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.com
