Do you love Scottish Broom? Is it a nuisance or a welcome site in your yard? Farmers say it's the most stubborn, deeply rooted bush that spreads like wildfire.
For me, it's literally a life saver! These bushes played a vital part in a few of my life threatening car accidents. One night a friend and I went to the town over where we "cruised" around looking for friends and fun. While turning left on a street near a huge gully, a drunk driver crashed into me by trying to pass on my right (while I was turning right) hitting me in the driver side door. I was driving a '65 Malibu SS and the other driver wound up pushing me sideways into deeply rooted shrubbery. Guess what that was? The bushes gathered quickly underneath my car, and stopped me just before the edge of the cliff by the very large gully. The driver side window shattered into the left side of my face, and the rest is history.
My favorite car was totaled, and a plastic surgeon took a few hours to gently remove half a ziploc baggie of glass from my face.
Do I love Scottish Broom? Yes I do! Every time I see it, I am thankful that it is so deeply rooted and stubborn!
