I'm getting really annoyed with the weather. It rained all week. Then this weekend we got a little sun, but it's been bone chilling cold. Now, I usually wouldn't mind working in the cold, but if I have to wear a ski jacket, you can forget it.
The pest of the week is a weed that I'm currently cursing. The common violet. It grows wild and while it's really beautiful, I can't have it taking over all of my flower beds. It's a pain to get rid of because it grows in annoying tuberous clumps that spread so quickly! I have some really interesting varieties throughout my property (dark purple like shown, also a light purple and a striped variety).
Later this week, I'll be hauling my mulch back from the Home Depot. I'm tempted to have mulch delivered. We need *that* much. I just don't know if it's cheaper to go that way or not.
No sign of sprouting from the seeds I planted last week, although I haven't checked today. I'm wondering if the rain did them in. :(
New things blooming: snowbells. New things popping up: the foliage for the bleeding hearts and some hosta.
