> One of world's worst weeds is now herbicide-resistant

Yes, indeed. Yet another indictment against agribusiness.

But the weeds are not resistant to my enchanted hoe. Forged from mysterious
metals in the smithy of mountain dwarves, it schwings brightly felling the
mightiest weed.

Actually I have two of them. One is inscribed in Elfish script "Wortrist"
(Weed Cleaver) and the other, "Climdring" (Sprout Hammer).

One morning when Herself and I showed up in the garden with the enchated
hoes, there the weeds bade fair to choke out a stand of corn. Bindweed had
made a
knot and out of it were growing goldenrods and ground ivy. Herself leapt to
the top of the heap and sliced off all the goldenrods in one stroke, then
ripped up the bindweed and beat the ground ivy to a pulp with it.

I shouted, "That still only counts as one!!" </HTML>
