Jim and everyone else. Here is a picture looking out my south facing windows. (remember, I live in a passive solar adobe house). I wanted to show what I mean when I say I am mowing the weeds. In the distance next to the tracks is a rail road tie corner post, next to it are "Chimiso bushes or 4 wing salt brush."(Atriplex canescens) All my property would look like that if I didn't keep them mowed down. Around 10 years ago I ignored the mowing for a year or two and the bushes nearly took over. A fire along the rail road track that burned into my property convinced me it was better to keep the bushes mowed down. Growing in with them is some Buffalo Grass, bind weed, and Pig weed. (another one not to ignore, it can grow 6 feet tall. So to me the place looks much better and I get my exercise for the summer. 🙂
