A while back I posted about reclaiming my fenced-in patio so Persia and I
could enjoy sitting outside again.  The apartment manager sent someone over
earlier this week, unbeknownst to me.  I walked out to get the mail and WOW!
All the evil monkey grass is gone!  So are the shrubs, bushes or whatever
they were growing up through the middle seam of the cement slab (apparently
they poured it in two sections) and sneaking in from under the other side of
the fence.

Persia and I sat outside for a long while yesterday and the day before.  She
thoroughly enjoys watching the birds that come to my feeder ;)  I like to
sit on my covered patio swing and read while gently rocking to and fro and
also watching the birds.

This morning I bought a big jug of RoundUp and sprayed the planting areas
and also along the fence and the seam in the middle of the two slabs.  This
stuff is NOT coming back on my watch!  Persia and I are going to continue to
enjoy this weed & shrub-free patio together for a long time :)  (And in a
few weeks maybe I'll be able to plant something I *want* to see in those
planting beds!)
