How does your garden grow?

[monkeybard]

I don't like to garden.  That's why I leave that yardish to NordicBoy.  That said, there is a certain satsifaction to be gained from the wanton destruction inherent in weeding.  Unfortunately, two and a half hours of wanton destruction wasn't enough to finish the job I was aiming to finish.  I did the patio, the rhododendron bed, the other little rhodie, two raised beds, under the deck, and some a third raised bed.  That was where I had to give up for the day.  I had plenty of garden tools, but not the shovel I needed to get out these particular evil weeds and I was not going to go get one--even if it was only in the garage.

At least I had fun reenacting the shower scene from Psycho with a trowel and a big rectangle of dirt and weeds.  Yeah.  Wanton destruction with a positive result.  I can handle that.

It was easy this time; nothing was deliberately planted in those beds last year. Other than the rhododendrons and the one ginormous sage plant that's in the last raised bed, everything was a weed.
