Why you don't let weeds grow in your yard...

I pulled this out of my yard today. I still need to figure out how to get out the rest of the root. I have a 8' deep hole in my front yard and the darn thing is still entrenched.



For a little size perspective.

Sometimes they've lived so long, they will never die.





But I will say the awesome Irises and Lilac bush make the yard totally worth it. :)

I cut a few fresh lilac stems for the house - it is AWESOME.
