The nasturtium:

Andy pulled up this over-eight-foot mullein yesterday when he was clearing a road we often walk on. It had sprung up after the fire.
Notice how small the roots are compared to the part above ground. That’s so different than the mulleins that grow in our rocky defensible space.

Wow, that’s really big
Yes. Andy was gobsmacked. 🙂
Oh my goodness! I guess the only reason he was able to get it pulled up was because of the small roots. Still, it must have been a struggle. Is this a record size for you?
Definitely a record size. He said it wasn’t hard at all to pull it up.
this is really odd, long roots close to you and short roots further away. they are pretty amazing weeds. the nasturtium doubled its leave in 2 days. wow
The soil on the clearing sucks because of the rocks. We’re amazed at all the grass this year. Mostly it struggles. I’m asking Andy to keep taking pictures of the nasturtium so we can watch it grow (hopefully!)
Like we used to say as teens, “Heavens to mergatroid!”
Thanks! I hadn’t heard that one so I had to see where it came from. I had heard “heavens to Betsy”.
