Hot and Dry

This morning it was below 90 for the first time in days and I spent an hour outside, mostly on the corner. I weeded both up and down along the curve.  The weeds mostly consisted of grasses, lamb's quarters, and dandelion/thistles.  I also decided to pull out most of the dark agastache which has spread everywhere. I started the year by cutting it back rather than pulling it out, but now it really had taken over around the copper trellis and I just yanked most of it out. I am working on percentages, so gettting it all is not required. My thought is just making room for the other stuff gives them a chance to compete for resources - especially water and sun. I watered by hand along the corner as well.
