There are some nice surprises when the grass gets tall. These volunteer flowers are among them. I won't cut them down until the petals drop off. Close by, there's a patch of irises where we had stored them after digging them out from another part of the yard. We never moved them, and now they're claimed the spot as their own.
Some nice color out by the garden shed.
It rained yesterday from late morning into the night. I'll see how soggy the ground is when I go out with Tasha. I'm so happy that the big mow is done. I started working on the details where the riding mower won't go. The little mower started right up and did a good job. I also gave the weed eater a workout. There's still much to do, but it's under control. Stress levels have decreased significantly.
Modest but lovely pic, which still cheers one.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to get the big things done before the rain returned. As you probably know by now, I love daffodils. (I think I’ll look for some in the local flower shops.) We planted naturalizing tulips in a front garden in Connecticut. They were thriving when we moved.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love daffodils and tulips. Now... you are actually supposed to not mow/cut down the greens for about 6 weeks after the flower dies off. You can deadhead the dead flower, but leave the greens up to pull in nutrients from the sun. Or don't bother, and just see if they come up again ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
