Weeding and Flowers

May 30, 2019

Well, I have been away from my blog for awhile with family birthday, weeding and other things. Loving the sunshine and nice weather so I have been out weeding.

This year I have made a compromise with the weeds. I am keeping a few along the driveway. I especially like the ones that have little purple flowers. They have a seed that, when I was a kid, we made scissors and swords out of them. But, last year I sprayed weed killer and lost too many praying mantis and maybe birds. That broke my heart so I am taking a different approach with them. Also, keeping a few Milk Thistle as I love their flowers. The worst is the wild grasses (fox tail type) that grows so long that I just doesn't look nice, so I pulled many of those today.

I have a nice ground cover that helps and I planted some wild flower seeds so i am hoping the birds will take pity on me and leave my new sprouts alone, ha, ha! I also put out a rose bush and I am hoping it will take and bring some pretty flowers years to come.

So what are you doing with your planting? Come share, if you dare!
