Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 16, 2007 12:30 pm)  We get a few mule deer browsing the rose bushes on their way to the neighbor's pond. But we have no big trees in our yard so we have few squirrels visiting and no chipmunks show up to eat my Subaru wiring (hopefully!). |

We have rabbits up the wazzoo... But when you have rat snakes your rodent problems are minimized

It was 75 here in Boise yesterday and looks to be the same again today, before cooling back to the more usual 60's for the rest of the week. So I planted a palm. It's actually our second outdoor palm - the other survived last winter ok and is looking good. This one will be more marginal but who knows. There are about a dozen around town that we know of, including two at one of the car dealers. Our microclime falls in zone 7. |

Wow, it's April and we just got about an inch of snow...good things I hadn't planted yet as the seedlings could have been frosted.

Anyone know how to kill it for good? I had a bunch dug/pulled a few years ago, but some of it is coming back. Putting on weed killer, and even everything-killer, just makes somewhat brown and seems to anger it.

You would probably need to install some sort of barrier (retaining wall?) if you wanted to let it grow in a small area and then dig out the yard to kill all the roots that already grew past a certain point. I just planted my garden this weekend. I'm pretty proud of myself, too. Used home-made compost, plus some hummus and peat moss I had left over. Laid down the plants, mulched the area, put up cages, a small fence, and even a soaker hose and an automatic timer to water the whole thing.
