72° and sunny yesterday. We live on a corner lot and there is a garden that is begging for attention. The previous owners put a lot of ground cover in this space and over the almost three years that we've lived here, more and more weeds find their home in this spot. People see this plot coming and going and it needs a new look. Yesterday was the first day of pulling the ground cover and thanks to the early April showers, it's been fairly easy to remove. It took a couple hours to remove half of the pesky plants. I'm on a roll and will get the rest cleared out today. And yes, I like to garden with my bare hands. It keeps me grounded.
Have you plans for replacing the weeds?

Yes, I do have a plan but need to wait for the weather to warm up before putting flowers in. I wear gloves, too, but don't mind a little dirt underneath my fingernails.
DeleteWhen I gardened (decades ago) I never wore gloves. Weeds are just misplaced plants.
ReplyDeleteKindred spirits!
DeleteGood luck with your gardening. I admire anyone who can keep a lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteGardening is a fun spring/summer hobby. I love to be ourdoors but need to be doing something.
