Forever

And... I will dig no more for... well, not ever, but not again for a long time. Laid down about half the buckwheat and poppy seeds, saving the rest until May, just in case we get a frost that kills them. Bergamot and thyme down, they are frost tolerant anyway. The last bit really was very hard, with rocks in. Still not decided what to do with the concrete circle, wanting to keep it visible, maybe plant something specific there? Feeling quite accomplished, so satisfying to have it done, and all the weeds at bay.



Hoping, with good reason, for rain this coming week. Maybe it will break the dryness and rain all April long. Weeding will be a constant in my life forever. I'm ok with this.

Pease are coming up in the back, which cheers me. Sunflowers all over the front, which worries me. I want some, of course, but not a forest of them like last year. Interesting, cats loved it, good for the soil, but a bit much. Scarlet flax already showing their cotyledons, which is wonderful.



Now, the cleaning must start. Leaving the dining room until the light is up. Or Moby is done sitting in the ring.




"Nevermind. Not as interesting as I thought it would be."

gz,
You know how it is.

Congratulations on getting done the last weeding and now the seeding. Of course, it isn't really the last weeding, as you mention, but it is enough for now.

Onward, let nature take its course after your good efforts. I would thin the sunflowers with vigor.

Phil,
And it's raining today, so all is well.

Nimble,
The sunflowers will always have a place in my garden, but no more taking over and creating a forest.
