WHY DO THEY-GRASS AND YARDS
why do they spend so much time and energy on their grass
and yards
this from an email from my brother he is another organic
gardener
gardener
well god and st francis was talking
god-you know all about those gardens and nature
whats going on down there
what happened to the dandelions, violets, milkweeds and
stuff i started eons ago those plants grow in any soil
can withstand drought and multiply like crazy
the nectar provides food for bees butterflies and birds
i should see vast colors by now but all i see are these
green circles
st francis-its the tribes that settle there the suburbanites
they call your flowers 'weeds' and went to great lengths to
kill them and replace them with grass
god-grass? its so boring its not colorful it doesnt
attract butterflies, birds and bees: only grubs and
sod worms its sensitive to temperatures do these
suburbanites really want all that grass growing there?
st francis-they go to great lengths to grow it and
keep it green they begin each spring by fertilizing grass
and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn
god-the spring rains and warm weather must make
the grass grow really fast that must make the
suburbanites really happy
st francis-no as soon as it grows a little they cut it
sometimes twice a week
god-they cut it? do they bale it like hay?
st francis-no they rake it up and put it in bags
god-they bag it? is it a cash crop? do they sell it?
st francis-no sir they pay to throw it away
god-let me get this straight they fertilize the grass so
it will grow and when it does grow they cut it off and
pay to throw it away
they must be relieved in the summer when we cut back
on the rain and turn up the heat that surely slows the
growth and saves them a lot of work
st francis-you arent going to believe this but when the grass
stops growing so fast they drag out hoses and pay
more to water it and pay to get rid of it
god-what nonsense at least they kept some of the trees
that was a sheer stroke of genius the trees grow leaves
in the spring to provide shade in the summer in the fall
they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep
moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes
its a natural cycle of life
st francis-you better sit down lord as soon as the leaves
fall they rake them into great piles and pay to have them
hauled away
plant native grasses, landscape away your grass, use plants
and grasses that dont need much additional water
water is going to be the limiting factor in the world in the future
for its growth and survival
FOOTBALL/BASEBALL
razorbacks won over vandy next week south carolina
longhorns got beat by baylor ie they beat themselves
next week have kansas state
go rangers go win next and tie up the series
cowboys better win today
