Today is the first day of spring! 💮
I've been trying to weed every warm day. The night temps are below freezing, so I dress in long sleeves and a sweatshirt. It's hard to believe I was wearing shorts last week.
My problem is that I have too many flower beds. I finished weeding most of the back yard beds. I still need to tackle the hyacinth bed in back and the hostas on the south side of the house.
Still to do: weed the hostas on the north side, ALL the monkey grass in the front yard, plus the hostas behind the shed. There are a variety of plants on the west side and hostas (again) on the east side. I need to weed a bit more behind the bushes along the fence line. The front yard garden is almost as long as the house.
I go through garden gloves as if they were made of paper. I'm not going to buy cloth gloves any more. They get wet, holey fingers too easily.
I love my perennials, but the down side is they multiply; hence my moving these plants to new locations. And I keep getting new perennials from one of my Scrabble partners.
Once we're done with the frigid night temperatures, I have to find (or make) space for two annual flowers: Texas bluebonnets and a mix of wildflowers.
