Wandered and now I am worried
Category: FRED - the garden | Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 3:07 pm I really love the way fresh rain makes the yard and garden look. The grass (or what passes for grass in my yard) glistens with rain droplets making the green all that much greener. The cypress mulch, which had turned grayish having been faded by the hot, glaring sun for months, is now almost it's original beautiful honey brown color. The spots of bare earth have taken on a dark, rich black color and are squishy to the touch instead of the hard as concrete dry clay it really is. The perennials and new seedlings are growing taller as you look at them. And there are two yellow Siberian Irises that are about to open and buds swelling on many of the others. Woohoo, this many have never bloomed before and certainly not this early in the spring. What has me worried after viewing the wonder of nature? Well you might ask. For the worry is that not all of what we have that passes for grass is growing in it's proper place. The rain droplets are also glistening on those clumps that are growing amongst the perennials and seedlings. And not just a few either, for everywhere I looked this morning I saw new clumps needing to be pulled up. I did a major weeding out last week and until the rains came the weeds were under control, but no more. It is too soggy for weeding this morning and I have other things lined up for today so the weeding will have to wait until tomorrow. The sun is slowly poking it's head thru the overcast so it will have plenty of time to dry things out to make the work easier tomorrow. But on the other hand it will also have plenty of time to shine down on those weeds, encouraging them to grow, grow, grow. This blog entry has been viewed 94 times

Yes,toni I did notice the weeds raising its head higher than my flowers.Its time to mow also and my battery is dead on my mower.Must get it charged on thursday its only a year old.Hopefully its still good.
It's enough to make you envy the lawn-only yards at times, isn't it! But it feels sooo good after you've cleared a place to weed-free, it's almost worth the work!
Pesky weeds. As my brother always says "A weed is just a plant in the wrong place".
The weeds grow better than the flowers here. Login or register to leave a comment. |
