Spring is Here

Has it really been nearly 3 months since my last blog post? Sorry! I've had technical issues and didn't take the time to fix it.

Most of February and March have been rainy and I've been getting a bit of cabin fever. So, yesterday I walked the children to the park: a nice two mile round trip.

Today, I tackled the weeds in the enclosed garden. Ben had made the right side (near the gate) into a potato patch last year, but I found the proximity to the hedge a continuing issue. Anything planted close to the fence gets major webbing, from the garden spiders, and the gardeners either trim the vegetables on accident or leave the hedges too bushy. So, I'm moving to a central garden with a walkway around it.

I don't know what plant it is, but the weeds in there are basically a runner with tear drop leaves. It's as bad as mint for its ability to take over (though my not weeding all the winter doesn't help, we have a cool -not cold- wet winter here).
