At times it seems like the roses have the upper hand, slowly but surely we will win this war with the roses! It's interesting to hear that some people in the park think they would like to do our job, until they see how much work it takes, how our arms are cut from the thorns and how warm the late morning sun can be and they just comment "they are really looking great, keep up the good work"! The second most asked question is "do you see many scorpions"? The answer is no, I'm sure they are around but when we are weeding and cutting the dead wood out we have no visitors of the stinging variety. Last year when Gary was sweeping behind a food truck he scared up one small scorpion, I was trying to find a tool to scoop him up to move him when Gary stepped forward and stomped on the little bugger. I guess they are not a bug worth saving. One thing I do know, small is not better, they have more venom then the larger variety.
