The last of August and September have blown by. Right now it seems I'm doing nothing but trying to catch up!
The wildlife stopped eating my black-eyed susans long enough for them to bloom. I love the variety of colors from yellow to deep orange. My volunteer sunflowers had some nifty shading, too.
I spent a chunk of time working on our out-of-control yard. We had someone come in and whack back all the brush around the edges of the yard. I had no idea how much it had encroached - the yard looks so much bigger. I also pulled out several bushes, roots and all. I then tackled the side garden which was neglected since we moved in: I removed copious weeds, ferns and lily of the valley that had started to choke the ornamental grass planted there.
