Quack Grass 742

For the past couple of weeks I have been working diligently on getting my garden going and quack grass has been my biggest challenge.  It looked like a million were coming up all over the garden however it was only 742 so far that I have pulled or broken off ... I'm counting everything these days.  Maybe we could do a fundraiser based on the number of weeds we pull out of a garden or flower bed 😓.    

One thing I admire about the darn stuff is how it grows ... wow you want to see a root system these plants have it in spades.  So while I am out there yanking out roots and plants it made me realize how a strong root system can make you indestructible.  No matter what it ... always comes up again!
there is a life lesson in this ... things like
having a good support (root) system, 
how a lot of what goes on with a person is hidden underground
under difficult conditions you can still see growth
it never quits


Not bad characteristics ... I just can't appreciate them right now.
