Beanstalk Update

Remember this guy? This milk weed of great determination? It started growing in one of our window wells and after it got so tall I didn't have the heart to kill it...WHAT??? Not kill a weed? My Dad is rolling over, I just know it! In July it was roughly 8 feet tall. The window well is three feet deep.

Last night Diana helped me hold the weed up so I could take a photo before I sent it to weed heaven.

As you can see, it only grew about 6 more inches but got very bushy at the top.

It has been laying over from it's own weight for several weeks.

(This was a good thing because then you couldn't see it from the street!)

What have we learned from our experiment?


#1 Weeds are ugly.


#2 Weeds grow faster than flowers.


#3 Weeds only grow so tall. No giants coming down from our beanstalk here! No Fe Fi Fo Fum. Bummer!


#4  And lastly...my family thinks I am a little nuts!

But YOU don't, do you?
