Violet vs Charlie

Violet and Charlie are the two different WEEDS growing in our yard.  I believe they are competing for complete reign over the entire yard.  However, Ian and I are single-handedly taking them out, one root at a time!  A couple pictures of the super invasive and domineering culprits.

Opponent A - Violet

Opponent B - Creeping Charlie

Here is how I plan to be Queen of the Yard:

First, I use my trustee weeder and search for the Violet roots.  Once they've been located, I dig down deep and RIP them out of the earth, place them in my bucket, and then deposit them into the Yard Waste bags!

Violets = Thumbs Down

The Creeping Charlies aren't so easy to remove.  They are viney and  S T R E T C H  far and wide in different parts of the yard.  You have to find their vines and slowly pull them out of the yard.  We plan to use some Weed B Gone in October to completely destroy them...or at least make a dent in them!
