Just a quick upload tonight, it’s just to keep my rhythm going.
Had a hard day in the garden & my word it needed it.
The weeds are rampant as you can see.
I only have that bed on the far side to keep weeded but with all the rain & being in NZ I have got way behind.
Unfortunately they have got well established now so I’m pulling out the ones I can & breaking off the long ones.
I shall wait until winter then have a good dig to get the roots up…….well I might get someone in. I googled weeding prices today but it’s a big job at this time of the year.
It does look tidier & the lawn is always tidy which helps.
You can come and do mine next LOL! All the rain and I didn’t have time with all those weeks at Radiotherapy. Triffids have taken over! Yours looks lovely and neat. Well done!
Your lawn looks lovely, Pat, and I can't see your weeds. My flowerbeds have also been very neglected this Spring since my right knee went out on March 1st. Finally walking, albeit gingerly. So, the weeds here have had a heyday getting well-established. My dear hubby (who is walker-dependant) gets on his knees to try to spruce things up a bit, bless him! So, I can relate to your situation. Rest well after your labor to tidy things up! You have a lovely-looking property!
@bjywamer Yes the lawn does look lovely Barb but Harry is always messing with it but won’t do any weeding! I think we are both well out of years to be weeding to be honest. That’s next doors house Barb! I’m just bothered about the weeds choking the shrubs I have planted! There will no entering garden for this years agricultural show that for sure!!
A lovely shot with Harry sprinting along with his mower , My garden is full of weeds this year , having had that fall in March I have been afraid to go out and I am rather useless at doing much now . Like you some tall grasses are growing everywhere - G and I did one small bed ( and I mean small) this afternoon ! My old sage bush had dies , tall grasses , fox-gloves growing where they has self seeded, and reverted to the common fox-glove , and God knows what else growing there ! and the edge of the lawn in such disarray ! Gary is good with the mower , but does not like edging ! I really feel gardening is beyond me these days and is a chore instead of pleasure !
The downside of warm wet weather is that the weeds love it! Harry is looking very fit, striding along with that lawn mower. I was doing a fair bit of weeding yesterday - and grass edging. I swear that every time John does some sort of modification in the garden, I end up with an extra stretch of grass to edge! It's not my favourite chore and it seems that I get it done just in time to start again!
Oh forget the weeds! I only pull them after it rains and they’re easier to pull out.
It looks lovely, but reminds me I need to do some weeding!
