Let's get dirty

As it is mid-July, I decided yesterday to start weeding my gardens. There are some people who do this in the spring and are out enjoying their gardens by this point. This is not my style.

When we first got the house, I was excited to not have upstairs neighbors with tread-mills, excited to paint a wall yellow and excited to weed. I realized quickly that my skills at differentiating between a weed and a wanted plant are not that great, mostly because the difference is only in the wanting.

The first year, I had tulips. But also bunnies. I realize there are lots of creative ways to keep one from the other, but wasn't about to go and buy deer pee. Now I have no tulips.

So my plan is to weed out a bunch of stuff, throw hostas in the gapping holes and call it a season.
