Paying for my sloth

Ah, there comes a times when we all have to pay for our sloth.

I have been ignoring the north rose bed in the front garden for a while. This is the one that was dug up to replace the sewer line a few years ago. The turning of the sol caused the grass to just explode in this bed. Today, it was time to fight back.

It only took about an hour to use my wiggle hoe to pull out all the grass, but it was quite a bit of work. I needed the exercise, though, so my previous slough has, at least, provided me some physical activity.

At the end of the project I even remove another infection of tall grass and the dead junipers they were smothering. This is but the beginning of a big change in the front garden. The geometric azalea and juniper beds are slowly going to change into more naturalized beds. Not only will this make them more attractive, it will also make them much easier to maintain.

Off now to nurse my sore shoulder and arm from all that hoeing.

Be well!
