Today, I learned that an inspired gardening spree is not as fulfilling as some would have us believe. One punctured hand, cactussed foot and bruised ankle later, I'm beginning to regret waking up this morning and thinking, "What the hell, I'll nuke the shit out of some weeds." FML

Fuck yeah! Gardening inspires the shit out of me! That happens all the time. I wake up like, "Fuck you, aphids! I'm coming for you. Do you hear that, weeds? That's the sound of me coming after your sorry asses! I'm gonna pull you so fucking hard." And then I realise that I don't have a garden and I get all sad and stuff. True story.

Hey, at least you tried to tackle the job! Take a break and start back up later :)

Gardens can be such pricks.

LOL! I love the way you wrote that!

Oh no, time for another nuclear war. Or rather, Weed War 3.

2 - Cacti can be even bigger pricks.

Im guessing your not mexican.......

4: unless you're Mexican that joke is not okay...I'm sure most people wont be offended but I'm also sure that someone will be -_-

How does one puncture his or her hand while gardening? Btw hsballer OP is from Australia.

If you've been to Australia, you would see what a tough climate it is. 90% of the country is desert. It is very hot, dry and there is an unbelievable amount of weeds and pest animals (snakes, spiders, drop bears).

I asked "how" I didn't ask what the climate was.

How? Well because of the desert plants have to adapt to survive in dry conditions. They are lush and green like you would find in Europe. They're dry, hard and prickly. Prickly can cause punctures. Satisfied?

Also, almost every living thing can kill you there, be it spiders, fish, or trees. Yes, trees. Eucalyptus trees have a tendency to explode under certain conditions, which can be met in Australia.

Explode? Well shit. I know what trees I'm not hiding under for shade.

57, I have never heard of exploding trees that is crazy if true. (googles) glad that my yard is mostly passionfruit vines. But if we don't mow our lawn enough we do get snakes and I live in the city so they really are everywhere.

Eucalyptus don't explode mate. Grass trees can semi-explode when cause on fire but not really.

Now I'm scared of my own country.

Thanks 89, won't lie I was a little bit concerned upon reading that.

Those damn drop bears!!

KU is gonna lose to Ohio State

I loved how OP said "nuke the shit out of some weeds".

I know how you feel op. I had to clear some stinging nettles out of my garden. Try getting some thicker gloves, wearing closed toe shoes, and jeans. You'll probably be really hot but maybe not as injured (:

No biggy OP you'll do better next time.

I know you're being sarcastic but the gardener in me has to give you a tip...the aphid's natural preditor is the ladybug. So if you have aphids (we used to get them all over our roses) go buy some ladybugs, you'd be surprised how many nurserys carry them, and put them on the infested plant(s). There you go, my longwinded, mostly useless, random tip of the day

You have officially made my shitty morning better! Thanks! :D

You're going to pull them so fucking hard? It's landscaping, not a porn film!

It can be both! There's a George Carlin skit in there.... Replace all instances of "kill" with "fuck" OK Sheriff. I'm gonna fuck you now... But I'm gonna fuck you slow.
