Oh man Blueberry. Hoping you can close on Monday and get moved ASAP!

Dear seed companies,

I KNOW what the mature plant is supposed to look like, that's why I planted your seeds! How about decorating your seed packets with pictures of the cotyledons and first leaves so I know which ones aren't weeds???

Dear seed companies,

Can't think of any weeds (around here, at least) that you can see the cotyledons on when they sprout.

Here, it's pretty much everything except the grasses and dandelions. Not that there isn't plenty of those, but there are all kinds of other weeds too that do sprout with their cotyledons first. At least I can recognize hairy galinsoga by now, gah, awful stuff!

I'm a novice gardener, trying to learn from my accomplished neighbors. Last fall I planted and transplanted a bunch of stuff. Now I'm looking at all this new growth and wondering what's what. So no weeding for me until I know. My neighbors are understanding, and admit to the same problems. I have one neighbor who knows her wild plants and grasses, and has pointed out all the edible things growing in my lawn (I have everything but grass, it seems). I can invite everyone over for a pick-your-own salad bar!

[OakLeaf]

Really there are just a couple of things that I haven't planted before. Row crops are easy since they'll be the only thing growing in a straight line. But I planted a few flowers for the first time and just scattered seed irregularly in the bed, and those are the ones that are desperately in need of weeding but I'm not sure what's what!

Dear previous camper owner,

Don't you think perhaps it would have been more fair if you had mentioned you kept four dogs in the camper, before we flew all the way to Texas to pick it up? It's our bad for agreeing to buy it anyway and feeling like we were kind of out of choices, but you could have done the right thing and at least cleaned it.

We ended up having to stay in hotels the entire way home due to off the chart allergies, so more money than we expected on top of the mess.

Signed,

Very disappointed new owners
