Yard Wars: Episode 2- Attack of the Xanadus

We have successfully carried out attack number 2 on the plant beds in our back yard. This time we turned our shovels and tanks to the largest plant bed of them all. It sits directly in front of a large back window and houses one of our most prized positions, a triple pigmy date.

With this gem located smack dab in the middle of the war zone we had to gather some serious intel before charging in. So we stood there staring at it for a few minutes. Once the intel session was over we unleashed the Fiskars Long Handled Diggin Bomb.

As with the "back bed" we had to systematically remove the friendlies before we could truly start the invasion. That meant uprooting all our variegated flax lillys and Xanadus.

Once the frienlies had been removed we sent in the ol Snapper Tank to do the clean up work. It wasn't easy though, the Snapper had to make 3 or 4 passes to get the last of the enemy forces.

Once again, we had an ally. General Dottie Pottie was there in full force. Lucky for us too, becuase we ran into a most unlikely enemy; we ran into a family of Snakes! I know, crazy huh? Don't worry though, they were cryogenically frozen in some type of egg shaped capsule.

General Dottie Pottie relocated the chambers to a more secure location.
