Catching up on work

I got all my Lowe's plants from two weeks ago in the ground, along the front. It rained big time this week, especially yesterday. That made weeding especially easy today. I got the rock garden cleaned out. The weed of the year (or at least of the season) is some little cress. It was so thick in the rock garden it looked like a planned ground cover. To my regret, it went to seed before I got it pulled. I figure it's an annual so hardly worth pulling, except to give breathing room to the stuff I really want.

I need to study up on my weeds. I'm not sure what everything is as it emerges. Last year I had a lot of volunteer black eyed Susans and I think I recognize the foliage again but I'm not certain. Also, my asters have seeded about. I'm doing a lot of pinching off things too. Trying to keep things from sprawling out of control.



I've been coasting for a couple of years and I need lots more time to whip things into shape.

Got lots of pictures this morning. I'll have to get some uploaded soon. It's the prettiest time of year in the neighborhood.
