So, I stewed a little, did a little research, and harvested the wheat. Borrowed my neighbor’s week whacker, and cut down the rest. I’ll call on Monday about the sunflowers and cornflowers and mustard, the last of which is shorter than the 18” limit on the height on non-lawn plants. The essential trouble is that these are what I’m growing to keep down the weeds. I also have the hummingbird trumpet, creeping type, that is looking good, and will hopefully spread and return next year. I found out about woolly thyme too late to establish it this year, other thymes and mints have died in that depleated soil and harsh sun.
The roses bloom.

Like most of my comments, this has only a passing relevance to your post....Harvest is my favorite Neil Young album......
Should,
I’m happy with non sequiturs. And occasionally Neil Young.
you might ask them to designate which ones are noxious ?
Tristan,
Indeed. I know the foxtail grass is bad, and exactly what I’ve been digging up and hand pulling. But I’m sure it’s the wheat that caught someone’s attention. Possibly the mustard looks weedy to someone, although it’s not. I must stop stewing about this, though.
Oh for crying out loud, let them define noxious first! Before they get to a definition of weed.
Sabine,
That will be my first question. If I ever get home at a decent hour...
agree,they must define weed...I always thought that as "a plant in the wrong place"...and who decides? and say which ones they think noxious.
The woman to call was very uninterested. But I think it’ll be ok.
