Re: Making a molehill...

YOW! Sounds like a lot of work. I was totally unmotivated today but did
manage to get some  yard things accomplished. Removed some yellow flag iris
out of my 'Tamora' roses as they were taking over. I can actually see the
roses now. Planted a 'Madame Emile blah blah blah" ( I forget the rest)
hydrangea that is truly stunning. it's a mophead but the flowers are HUGE
start out white and turn pale pink.

Weeded the rose bed, and cut back a ton of verbena and licorice plant that
has been attacked by spider mites and put did-sysotn on them. Didn't want to
use it but we are talking infestation here.

it was too hot and humid to work, rained off and on while I was outside,
then we went under a tornado watch until further notice so I've been inside
for a while.
