Curious when I get home to see how seed put in a week ago are doing.
Probably will not really know for two weeks but last time one week made a huge difference.
I took some seed from free packets of tomatoes, cucumbers, beets and just broadcast them in an empty space, with good soil.
As I watered heavily they should have been pounded into the soil deep enough to sprout if they intend to.
The Bush rose garden I weeded deeply, digging out what my brother call Purple Loose Strife rhizomes (hate to say it but not sure if that is what it is), along with Quack Grass, seems to have been successful as that garden is as close to wee free as it has been for a long time.
I also spot, literally poisoned lessor weeds and they seem to be gone.
The PLS is all over other areas, some I can dig some, some of it I cannot.
That by Peonies I am going to spot apply a true vegetation killer on the plants.
The Lilies of the Valley garden is now over run with PLS, Quack Grass and a bush rose ma put there, so it really needs to be dug up and Peony removed, rose mostly removed and L of V replanted.
Did this , to a lessor degree twenty years ago but it was not as bad as it is now.
Rose took a hit when burned off leaves gathered from the fall and winter but it is the old canes that went Pfft, not the young ones I hoped would.
