Yep, those rhizomes will continue to grow and put out additional grass throughout your bed and take over again. While it is all tilled up, the rhizomes are broken up and are easier to get out - although there will be more to get. When you see the grass start to come up, dig around it and pull up the whole rhizome/root. I have Zoysia grass in the yard I made my garden - and I removed all of the sod before making the beds. I still have the grass get into the area and just have to keep after it. Here is a link that might be useful: BsnTech Gardening Blog

my meyer was 3' tall when i bought it a few years ago the first two years it had about 10-12 fruit, as they fruit got bigger and started weighing down the branches, and then the trunk started to bend towards one side, that's when i thinned out some of the fruit. i kept the green lemons and used them to flavor my ice water and iced tea. your tree is limber, but if you feel there's too many fruits on one branch and its bending more then you feel comfortable with, feel free to pick a few to lighten the load. as far as whether your tree has enough energy to support that many fruit, don't worry, if it can't it'll drop a few of them. from the time it blooms to the time the fruits mature, there's usually 2-3 phases of natural fruit drop so not to overburden the tree.

I'm back from visiting probably the most beautiful place on earth- Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Florida looks awful in comparison.... But, thanks to capable friends, my garden is still alive and growing like mad! I picked Jamaican Strawberries, Blackberries, Barbados Cherries, Tomatos, Persian Limes and Peaches this morning. Lots of Bananas on the trees, none ripe right now. Looks like a very good Fig crop later this summer, and the Pomegranates are HUGE and heavy. Apples look really nice and are reaching a respectable size. Should be able to start picking them in June/July. My Chaya is so big that I must cut it back hard, or it will be shattered by the first storm to come along. I think I'll make a Chaya dish similar to Treefrog's Malabar Spinach/Beef enchiladas. To my sorrow, most of the Black Sapote blooms fell off, as did the fruits on the Mamey Sapote. My largest, oldest Kampong Mauve Sugar Apple tree was split in half, so I had to remove 6' sections. That hurt! There are a few nice-looking Mango fruits left, that "Teeger" hasn't picked and eaten, yet. The Dragonfruit vines on the old turkey pen are blooming nearly non-stop. So far, no fruits have formed. It may need another variety for pollination, or might even be a non-fruiting one? I have other varieties, but none of them are in bloom. My Malanga looks very nice, I wonder how to tell when the tubers are ready to harvest? The Pitomba shrub bloomed and set fruit while I was away. I'm looking forward to the fruits- they taste like juicy Apricots! Lisa

Who says neutral has to be colorless? Who says only beiges and browns are neutrals? IMO almost anything that comes from the earth is neutral. That means all granites and all wood tones, as long as they are not painted, are neutral. This includes deep reds, greens, yellows, golds and purple (amethyst). I did my kitchen in dark cherry stain and peacock green granite, which has bursts of green, gold and black. The knobs and pulls are ORB. The nearby family room has dark brown leather sofas, dark cherry wall unit and matching tables. BUT... there are large bright green throw pillows, a huge multi-colored abstract painting on the wall with burgundy, green, gold, black and silver, and there are sage green curtains. Lots of color, yet it's all neutral, expecially the big ticket items. I can change the color scheme by changing the wall hangings, pillows and curtains. Also, the furniture and cabinets are traditional style, yet the wall coverings, pillows and lamps are contemporary-and it all works beautifully! Start thinking "out-of-the-box" and don't be afraid of color. Just be careful when considering pastels, like pinks, blues and oranges, which aren't necessarily neutral
