We were putting a lot of effort into getting the yard looking good for a party we were having and the weather wasn't cooperating so a lot of the annuals couldn't get planted. Then we rushed off to Fl. when Ric's dad went into the hospital. Never expected to be there almost 3 weeks. We had a ton of rain while we were gone and our son took care of the mowing but the beds and veggie garden were left to grow. Given time we will get it back in pretty good shape.
