Lemon Grass for FREE

 

While Bob put pool supplies in the basket at Home Depot, I wandered around taking pictures of plants and found a flat that had maybe 50 of these Lemon Plants. My first viewing of this plant.

 Horrified at the price, I did not take a photo and had to borrow this from their website.

As we drove in the driveway, I pulled in the garage and hopped out and ran to the front yard with my

cellphone. As I stepped inside the house, Bob said what were you doing?

I poked my phone and said look, look at this

So, what? he says, I almost cut it down yesterday, but the weed whacker quit.

I said in my soft gentle voice, DON"T CUT IT DOWN. It's LEMON GRASS.

We got a present from the birds...

I am thankful the weed thingy quit, because he has cut it down several times and I always fuss, because I like it around the stump. He says it's just weeds, I say I like weeds.

Now I have PROOF it is not weeds.

I showed bob the price of the big one and the price of this little 4 inch pot at Walmart

At first, I thought we could dig up 3 big ones and sell them in our front yard, but on 2nd thoughts, if I make 10 of these smaller ones, at $13.99 that is more than 2 big ones at $59.99

Lemon grass flowers, it is a mosquito, flies and ants repellant, it is toxic to dogs, but ours is in the front yard, not where Beau goes. It's attractive if you take care of it. 

THERE IS ALWAYS a fly in every ointment. 😉😉😉

I am thankful I found proof these are not JUST WEEDS, and that Bob did not cut them down for the 3rd time and 

I am thankful for our gift from the birds, and can join Brians Home Thankful Thursday

PS I do realize the lemon grass needs to have weeds pulled from around it, but waiting to see if anyone volunteers to come do it.

I HAD SEVERAL POSTS ON AUTOPOST, IF I DON'T COMMENT ON YOUR BLOGS, IT MEANS HURRICANE HELENE HAS PUT OUT THE POWER OR WORSE.
