Eventually they get plowed under with everything else once the season draws to a close (or, if the crop is finished early enough in the season, once something else needs to be planted there).<br /><br />Woohoo, more Gregfinitions! Love that final line :D<br /><br />Cathryn - oof, that's a nasty challenge.

Do you compost all the weeds?<br />The restaurant situation does sound a bit difficult; hope the head chef gets better soon, and your orders stabilise as well :)<br />I love the flow of your poem today, and the bluntness of the words.
