This is a thread with no particular
Topic so no one can be off topic ๐
So if anyone out there has something
To say about anything you like now
Is your chance
Keep it clean
And be nice
See how long that lasts
Can we keep politics and religion out
Of the conversation
Solved! Go to Solution.

A roaring fire can be a beautiful thing
when it's not consuming your kitchen
It's about perspective
the way you look
the way you see
the value you place on something
Look beyond your prejudices
and everything has beauty
or peek out
between your fingers
hands clasped over your eyes
and perhaps
all you see is ugliness.

I was told that weeds are just plants growing where you don't want them
Yes, I do agree with that Stawks xx
I love the look of thistles etc.

I've known people like that; when it comes to plants they're easily pleased - thistle do....

Hi all . I've been out doing my regular Monday
Morning op shop
It's a church and gets loaded to the max by
Volunteers over the weekend.
Great stuff on Mondays by the middle of the week
Its gone.
There's a noxious weed in SA called salvation
Jane and also known by the name of pattersons
Curse.It covers the Flinders Ranges in a beautiful
Purple blanket at a certain time of year,
Most likely spring. Looks spectacular.

In Victoria feral Gazanias would take over on the walls of road cuttings.
Beautiful to look at, but a bit of a pain when people would stop to take photos.
I suppose it would be worse, nowdays, with all of them snapping "selfishies".

I love Gazanias - How can they be a weed?

It's all about how you see things as a farmer or anyone else that tries to get their paddocks free of these
noxious weeds view them in a completely different way,(and use a few choice words when talking about them,

It's another introduced weed species,(that's deadly to horses).
When we drive past any it's always with a curse,(it can invade vast tracks of land quite quickly and is hard
to control),

They're just growing where they're not wanted.
If they'd like to come to my place... I've had almost no luck with them. I've laid down specially prepared beds for them - a base layer of shredded Hansard (because I hear plants thrive on BS), decent topsoil, bit of mulch, water them regularly and still nothing.
Maybe I'm giving them too much attention.

I would be quite happy for some select attractive
Weeds to inhabit my back yard .
After years of gardening
The dogs have practically demolished all evidence
Of a beautiful garden.
Even the lawn , pot holes everywhere.
Luckily I transplanted a lot out the front, or would
Have lost the lot.
No use trying to repair it now the dogs are only
About 18 mths old, they usually stop that behaviour around
Two years.
In the meantime I'm growing new plants in pots
Around the side, behind the gate.
Out of harms (dogs) way
