Let’s be honest, weeding is just a necessary evil of gardening. We have talked about it before.
Here is a recap of the top tips on weeding:
- Weeding is always better with a friend.
- It is easier after a rain.
But the most important part of weeding is timing.
Here is my recent weeding adventure:
These prehistoric looking weeds were starting to invade my front bed. They are nasty little things with prickly thorns all around.
You may use a trowel or a weeding tool. Or you can go all chemical on them with some Round Up. Regardless of your method the most important part is getting to them before they set seed. Let’s face it, there is nothing worse than tons of baby weeds to deal with. Also, don’t forget to put them out for trash collection instead of putting them in your compost. They are resilient plants and may very well take up dwelling in your pile.
Remember the next time you are putting off the weeding chore, be sure they aren’t getting ready to seed. If you wait, it can exponentially increase your work.
Definitely weed before they seed!
Happy Gardening!

Living Wall Art: An amazing display.
WOW….Is that not the coolest wall decoration your have ever seen? It is quite literally living wall art. For those that are local to Raleigh, NC, this in on the walls of Cameron Village shopping center.
Isn’t it cool how they used plants as paint?
And the canvas is really a series of flats put together.
And there is a custom irrigation device that hooks up to a water hose. Unlike other art, this does require water.
I would love to figure out how to rig something like this up for my backyard….it would look really cool on the shed wall. Hmmm….any thoughts on an easy way to do it? I am sure this custom job was expensive.
Happy Garden.
