Re: gardening question

Same here Kitty...not enough days of sunshine and good weather to be
able to get out and weed...and the weeds are having a field day...and
the plants that need to be "curbed" like mint and the limelight
artemisia are just going nuts.....*sigh*

I'd give them some time, but I think you're right, they'll probably have to 
come down.
On another note, I owe you an apology Donna.  A few years back you were 
bemoaning your weed situation and I recall replying that I have very few 
weeds.  This year it's a totally different story.  Mainly maple seedlings 
and clover, but a few others thrown in.  I have spent days pulling the damn 
stuff, hauling out huge bags of it and I'm still not done.
