It’s a funny time of year for weeds. The weather is still warm, but the rain is falling. Perfect weed growing conditions! You hoe the ground, clear those nasty buggers, blink and they’re all back again. You feel like you’re loosing a battle. Your back aches from bending over, knees sore from kneeling, and you’ll …
