The vine parcel just outside our back gate. That's our garden shed on the right.
Of course, not all the parcels look like this. Some are quite bare (at ground level) from herbicides, others have been plowed to uproot the weeds and wildflowers, and still others have been mowed to keep the weeds under control. I wonder what difference it all makes to the vines (although using fewer chemical herbicides is probably a good thing for the environment over all).
I've not seen the likes of this. I also wonder if the invaders have any effect on the grapes. I would think if they get tall enough and thick enough, they would start blocking the sunlight. But otherwise, I agree the fewer herbicides the better.
ReplyDeleteQueen Anne's Lace always reminds me of my grandparents farm. Thanks for the memory. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, so thick and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely!
ReplyDeleteMore organic farms are doing this -- it is a natural mulch, so they say. In my garden it is my excuse for not removing each weed as it appears....
