Finally, a warm day. I had a couple of hours this afternoon to work in the yard. Spent the time weeding the bank down by the road. I bought a special hoe just for the purpose. Am I lame, or what? I'm all excited about a new hoe. The hoe was great though. Well worth it. It's so much faster than pulling up weeds by hand. It has a really small blade, which I needed for weeding in between the daffodils and daylilies. That bank is about 8' × 50' and I managed to get the whole thing weeded in three hours.
And had a nice conversation with the next door neighbor. He came over to chat while I was weeding. He told me that he didn't understand what we were doing when we put all that soil down last year, but now that it looked so nice he could see the method to our madness. I was like, gee, thanks, I think!
Next I have to get that bank mulched before the weeds come back, and plant the marigolds that I bought yesterday. I'm going to plant them in a row in front of the bank, and then put in small sunflowers to fill in the gaps between the daylilies. That's the plan, at least.
