New Bur-Clover Afflicts Cow Barn

With all the incredible changes going on as a result of the death of nature in these parts, it's not surprising that the Eurasian winter weeds have been chomping at the bit, fixing to invade the CB. Yes. Those winter weeds feel like they need to fill the holes formerly occupied by the grass which is now deceased.


Yes. Before nature gives up on Stinky Valley entirely, we need to go through the homogenization and simplification phase. That's where the few remaining plants left alive prior to the death of nature are the same everywhere. Which brings us to the new weed at the CB. This happens to be Medicago arabica. Swell!

Er. Seems like the specific epithet, arabica, might have caused someone at the Dept of Ag. to blink. But of course, this one was imported a long time ago. Mercy!
