and free seeds from QU last night got me thinking about where to plant my seeds. I was burning some leaf piles and other various yard waste when I took a stroll with the rake and lighter ;D The previous stuff wasn't burning too strong so I figured that would be the same for the weeds and small trees I was eyeing for destruction. In a manner of minutes it went from a small slow burn to an out of control freak out moment. I was far enough away from anything so it wasn't a risk to any thing or anyone but I just hate the feeling of not in control!!! I got it under control in about half an hour and completely out in an hour. Burnt the heck out of the "duff" and I am not speaking in third person here. Should make a great place to plant some milo. Next few places I think I will stick with glyphosate and my neighbors tractor w/ rototiller attachment

lol that is a scary feeling! Did that along a creek as a kid smoking stolen cigarettes. Luckily the water was only ten foot away, but no way to transport it. Finally I soaked my shirt and got it put out, but not before my dad saw the smoke and came to investigate. Let's just say, it's no fun weeding a 1/2 acre garden all summer by yourself, especially when your brothers are laughing at you as they're leaving to go fishing!
