So today i spent three hours outside, pulling weeds taller than I am. With Itchy, buring eyes and sneezing every 5 seconds to boot! I only got the portion right in front of the house done, all these pics above, those areas are still untouched! I decided that all of this weed pulling and up-keep is going to cause an early death!!!
On the first pic, can you tell which is my neighbors corn patch and which is our weeds?!? That is terrible. Our poor neighbor!
The kids had fun, or course, I kept saying I was going to pass out, they'd bring me water and squirt me with the hose. So, glad someone had fun during all of this! Brad and I are not so sure about this 1/2-acre deal...Once it is actually landscaped, then yeah, it might be more manageable, still a lot of work, but not out of control like this. The way things are going though, it's gonna be 10 years before we get this landscaped!!!
I should have taken a before of this area, but i didn't think of taking pics and posting all of this until after I decided I was going to die! ;) So these are the two piles i pulled. These don't look like much, but it was, believe me. And trying to pull these suckers out of our rock hard dirt?!? I've got blisters all over my hands. One of the weeds I pulled, well, more like chopped down, the stalk to the thing was seriously at least 3" across. We're not growing weeds, they are TREES! With lots of sticker burrs in them!
Here is what it is supposed to look like, but doesn't very often, due to weed overload!!!

I hated Leeds weeds. I had weed trees in my back yard there also.
Wow...what dedication! I abhore weeding. I'm so glad my hubby likes yardwork and he's good at it. Have you tried spraying those puppies? I swear, Cole just sprays our weeds.
Wow you go girl, I hate weed pulling in our little yard, a half an acre of weed pulling and I would pull all my hair out too. It looks nice when it is done though!!
