My garden was out of control. Over taken by weeds. My perennials are growing. They’re blooming. But they were overshadowed by the crazy weeds that were encroaching on their territory.
My mom is an incredible gardener and is always more than willing to help me play catch up in my yard. So today she came down and we got to work. We started at one end of the yard and worked and worked our way around until every weed was in the yard waste bin. It took us a good four hours, but we got it all done.
Now my dahlia’s have some room to breath. And soon, hopefully bloom too!
My black eyed susans can see the sun a bit better now too.
For now, the garden is weed free. My flowers are happy….and so am I.

Actually, what I do is weed right after it has rained, and the soil is moist. The weeds pull up just like butter! My husband and I did some thinning out and moving around of some of my perenmnials Sunday afternoon, and I took the opportunity to do some weeding of my own. By the sound of it, we both have happy plants now! By the way, very pretty garden!
I am having a cup of coffee while I read your post. After this, I ‘m out to my vegetable garden where the weeds are attacking with a vengeance. It’s hot here, but it’s got to be done.
Beautiful! I *love* black-eyed susans! Come on over~we’ve got plenty of weeds over here
Wish I could have met you at Haven!
Good job! It looks great!
