The yard was so beautiful, in theory, at least. But the evil "cobblers peg" weed forced major changes into the planning for this spring and summer. My day lilies were all dug up, saved, and replanted. Hardy plants that they are, they are all doing well and growing. So soon I will have blooms on all of the ones that were moved this past January.
Unfortunately, the nasty weed can be seen coming up virtually everywhere in these pictures.
This spring I'm using pine straw instead of cypress mulch in my flower beds. Hopefully this will help, at least in the appearance of the beds. Over time the mulch actually contributed to the sad look of the front yard bed. With a smaller area for flowering plants, I hope to be able to stay ahead of the weeds that do make their way above ground.
