Oh How The Weeds Will Grow

I'm not sure how your spring has been, but here it has been unseasonable cold and very rainy.

Squeezing in gardening between rainfalls is tricky business. I'm transplanting and splitting most of my plants this year which is slowing progress even more.  

The past week I've been spending every available moment moving plants around the yard and have completely neglected the vegetable garden since it's been too cold to get anything started. 

While I've been turning a blind eye to that area it has exploded with weeds.  Big, thorny, nasty weeds - - and grass!  I still can't figure out why after four years I'm still pulling grass out!

Today was the day to pull on my gloves and tackle that weedy mess.

It looked like this when I started . . .

*sigh*  And more weeds

After a few hours of work it now looks like this.

Ahhh, so much better!

Tomorrow I'll start planting.

Oh and look, the peonies are looking good.  I've never had so many buds before. 

Here's crossing my finger that this will be the year I'll finally get them to bloom!

Have a great day,

Robin
