Where'd All These Dandelions Come From?
I just spent about an hour on dandelions in the back garden. I can't figure out where they came from, because I sure didn't have all these weeds last year! I suspect that my neighbors, who show little inclination to attend to lawn and garden care, might have something to do with it. There are so many I think I might have to resort to weed killers to get it under control.
I got a new trough liner for the front porch planter, so I think I will move the pansies I have in it right now into some nice shady locations in the gardens, and re-line the trough so I can plant it today. The pansies have really gone crazy with all this cool damp weather we have had.
I came inside to have a nice little lunch, so now I'm planning what I will get done this afternoon. I noticed that something else has gone crazy with this cool, damp weather—the lawn. Since I have to work the next three days, I think I should get it mowed today, which I hadn't planned to do.
It's so nice to see the sun again! I hope the forecast for the next four days is wrong, and we have more sun in our future than they think.
