To whoever called the City on me about my less than perfect grass, and some weeds. I hope you lose someone, get depressed, and someone does the same to you. It's particularly hard right now because my hands are so damaged by 18 months of hand sanitizer and disinfectant.
And today, I got a couple of hours of help from my friend, my neighbour's Mom (who used to live with her daughter, and goes to my church), who had a sudden invite to dog sit her granddog, so with her help, the rose garden is 90% weeded and ready to newspaper, manure and mulch. There's one or two that might not make it, but they're hardier than people think. Dave's tree is nicely centred, there's a new lavender plant at the front, and I've torn out a metric ton of lamb's ear, that messy, pretty perennial with the tall purple flower stalk. Now, do any of my gardening friends know anything about Myke? I have an almost full container of "tree and shrub" Myke, and I can't imagine why I couldn't use it to plant other things, particularly perennials (it's one particular underground fungus). I've sent a message to them, but haven't heard back. I have a handsome new white echinacea to plant, near my "pollinator garden" (milkweed and bee balm), and don't want to hurt it, but would love to foster its growth.
