Probably Shouldn't Have . . .

I've been making some semi-major landscape changes this fall that will be completed next spring. I finished pulling out five 'evergreen' type bushes this afternoon.  They came out waaaay easier than I thought.  

Last week I dug out an overgrown patch of perennials from the onion family.  I cannot recall their name.  Today I knocked the dirt off the roots and ran the lawn mower over them, mulching them to shreds.  What I did not consider was the strong onion like smell.  My eyes were burning during the mulching process. I probably shouldn't have done the mulching part.  My sliding door was open during and after the mulching operation.  When I came into the house much later, the house smelled of onions.  Probably should not have had the door open.  On the plus side, a generous spraying of Febreze about the house pretty much eliminated the onion odor.  So if you are down wind of my back yard and you smell onions . . .
