Unless one has determination to succeed success becomes evasive. I had a lot of trouble with the weeds in my lawn on the terrace and it took me several years to rid of them and now I can celebrate as at long last my lawn has taken over. How do you get rid of weeds in your garden?

Hi ak! I know it is very irritating to see unwanted weeds growing every now and then and causing harm to other plants. I leave the job to the gardener who attends my plants and keep reminding him to clear the weeds.

I live in a small apartment. It is nice but we cant have lawn. I dont even have plants because dad has made such a mess of balconies. :( So I just keep on hoping that I will get a chance to have a lawn of my own some day. :)

What about other issues in your life? Do you go after them till you get them. The lawn here was merely an example I gave about how patience pays.

yes it is true. i think it is applicable to any situation in life, that with tenacity comes success. i like that you shared your story about the weeds in your lawn. we know that weeds are stubborn. we take them out, they know how to return and annoy us. but you are also stubborn to get rid of them, that's why you succeeded. we have to confront the problems and challenges head-on and with tenacity.

Unless the weed is pulled out by its root it will multiply and that was happening when these labourers were at it. They left the roots behind creating problems for me each year. But I did not give up. I supervised the task much as I could and surprisingly this year I noticed that the lawn was taking over and killing the weeds.

Weeds can be a rather common enemy and a rather frustrating for many people who have a garden. Or just in the regular yard. Much like any menace, they keep popping right back up, to regularly plague us, to taunt us, to torment us, to really cause us some great misery and woe, and all kinds of frustrating problems that come. It is a constant maintenance. I think getting them to a manageable level really is just half of the battle and then when you manage to defeat the menaces, then it is a cause for celebration. However, there is a chance that despite your success, they will sneak right back up and plague you once more, someday, somehow, but at least you will be ready. In the end, the stubborn survive and while weeds can be stubborn, some people can be more so.
