Wednesday after teaching school, I walked the seeded logging road behind our 38-acre parcel in Botetourt County, Virginia. I was looking for invasive plants that were just starting to bud. With loppers in hand and a spray bottle of herbicide, I was ready to do battle.
It was disappointing to find so many plants to target. There were a few of Russian olive, but the most common one that I encountered was multi-flora rose, which seemed to be growing just about everywhere.
I spent about an hour on this task, which, frankly, has just begun. I've got a lot more work to do, but at least it was a start.
