WEED OF THE MONTH
Oxalis

This month, our intrepid 'weed whisperer' looked out into her landscape and noticed that Oxalis was the only green thing in the lawn. She decided that would be the weed she would present. Little did she know that this potential brute of the garden has over 600 species!!!

That being said, there is a lot of good information about this weed and we didn't want you to miss any of it. To read up on this amazing family of plants, click on any of the images and you'll be able to download the entire article.
