But if it doesn't get insanely overgrown, I might not do the roundup thing.<br /><br />Oh, and I agree that Monsanto is probably on the top ten list of "most evil companies". Probably somewhere below KBR and the company that manufactures that toy for children called "bag of glass shards".Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514301100480098429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104876164407381915.post-47523531041070605742009-05-03T19:43:00.000-07:002009-05-03T19:43:00.000-07:00Roundup will indeed kill all your plants.

Roundup is also manufactured by Monsanto, about whom I have less than warm and fuzzy feelings. <br /><br />Maybe all your flowers are perennials that will more or less reproduce themselves from year to year. I'm pretty sure the effects of Roundup only last one season, so if you really killed your whole yard, then the next year you'd just have a yard full of weeds. If you leave the flowers in, and don't Roundup, then you'll at least have SOME flowers next year.
