I could have missed it. I wondered why it was so seemingly demure in this spot. I have seen it totally out of control at a botanical garden in Florida. Annie's advice is good.Christopher C.

I have often wondered what might stop it. In this park setting it is as bad as Fragmite or loosestrife in the wrong place.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-41756572277416659232007-12-05T19:55:00.000-05:002007-12-05T19:55:00.000-05:00I have been perusing the NC Wildlife Resources Com...I have been perusing the NC Wildlife Resources Commission website for the past week (very heavy on the PDF files) since I am surrounded by hunters and it is good to have some idea of what is going on.<BR/><BR/>I do know that there is no hunting allowed on Sundays during the season. Odd but true. There is a whole mess of critters folks can hunt and it is mostly during the fall and early winter. Christopher C.

But isn't it ironic that in traveling down there you found the equisetum (or had you known about it already).<BR/>I found an interesting link from the Kyoto journal, about building stone walls and the associated inner wisdom to be attained.
