The weather is just amazing. Yet wind was high today...blew over a gallon of paint all
over...everything. Calm now, like every evening and very warm, comfortable.

Warm here is 'no sweat'...just normal clothing. Perfect.

Monkshood. Deadly. I have two growing patches that I had to eradicate. Gorgeous
flowers and grows so well I wish it was 'nice'.

The boys cleaning the garden had STRICK instructions to stay away from all nettles and
the Monkshood. (my job)

It is so deadly I've given it two sprayings. Careful cutting it out being 4 sq feet now.
My younger pup was eating some nearby grass as pups do and was obviously a bit
mildly ill last night. Toxic plants need to go...winds calmed down and sprayed again.

Still researching the best way to deal with the stalks once dead. Nasty plant and curious
why anyone would want to plant them...
