You all know how I feel about Oxalis (false shamrock).
I SPENT A HOUR ON MY HANDS AND KNEES DIGGING OXALIS corms in a flower bed this afternoon! What a waste of time and talent...
I don’t live in CA anymore, so I don’t fear Oxalis as much as I did when I was younger. Our cold weather doesn’t kill it, but it slows it WAY down. I don’t try to dig it out anymore (impossible) I just pull it out even though I know that it will come right back. Actually, it’s a pretty little plant compared to some of our weeds.
I reached for a little weed yesterday without gloves. It wasn’t over an inch high. It turned out to be a stinging nettle and my finger hurt for hours afterward!
