It describes the state that something, like weed or beard, hasn't mowed nor shaved so that it grows　a lot. e.g. ひげがぼうぼうだったから、今朝そった。 "I shaved this morning because I found my face with bushy beard."

This is pretty complicated stuff. It reminds me of how far I am from being proficient. But I really like it that Jpod101 challenges us. I've no lawn to take care of since I live in a condo but I do want to cultivate herbs which I can use for cooking. I've started with a Basil plant. Hoping to get more soon. :razz: Wow!
