As high as an elephant's eye

The grass is very tall in places around the vineyards. I think it will probably get cut eventually, but in the meantime, the tall grass is good for the wildlife and the wildflowers.

That's our little hamlet in the distance with the river valley beyond.

 

Yesterday the sun came out and things warmed up a little. I took advantage and made a couple batches of weed killer and sprayed the garden path as well as the gravel parts of the yard adjacent to the house. The mixture is mostly household cleaning vinegar mixed with table salt and dish soap. There are many versions of this recipe on the internet. If this one doesn't work well, I'll try another. The sun will rise soon and I'll get to see how the weeds are doing.

  2. I've got to find where I can buy that extra-strength vinegar, and then I'm going to make this mix, too.

    1. I believe you can buy it at Home Depot and Lowe’s.
