Days/weeks earlier I had got all of the yarrow sprayed to be killed. But by the time I sprayed them they already started to form the seed heads. It appears that before the yarrow completely dies they finish off the seed head. Therefore, it is now time to 'pick' the seed heads so no more yarrow weeds come up next year.
Off all the weeds in the pastures, yarrow is the most I have by far. Still, I initially thought it would take me a day or two to 'pick' the seed heads. Nope. Over a week. I would put the seed heads in a 3-gallon bucket. My north pasture I filled three and a half buckets. The middle pasture I filled four buckets. The south pasture has few yarrow weeds, and I had 'picked' / pulled those weeds a while ago.
I would have taken a photo of the bucket filled with yarrow weeds but my camera' battery had died. I wasn't going to wait as this was my last bucket of weeds. I got rid of the weeds and took this photo today.
Also, not the greatest photo of the yarrow weed. But again, my camera's battery had died before I could take a photo of another yarrow weed.
Now on to the next project.
