“Pickled” Weeds

Family

ngredients:
1 Driveway full of weeds, preferably young and tender
1 Gallon White Vinegar
1 Squirt Dish Detergent
1 Sunny Day
Mix the vinegar and detergent in a spray canister. Use to spray on the leaves of the weeds in the driveway (or mulch bed, or in between stones in the sidewalk). Then wait patiently for the vinegar to “pickle” (or kill) the weeds. May repeat once or twice at weekly intervals if necessary. Also useful for killing the green algae that grows in shady areas on the deck and north wall of the house. (Wish we’d known about this back in the Woodlawn days when we regularly rented a pressure washer to clean the brick sidewalk out front.) it’s effective, inexpensive, easy, and environmentally friendly!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week.

In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
