The weather is finally nice enough that it’s time to venture outside!
Over the weekend I realized how much my yard needed attention. Not so much the yard itself, but my flower beds had far too many weeds. The bad thing is they weren’t just any weeds, but the kind that sting me. Thus the reason why I’ve been putting this off.
But this weekend I grabbed the gloves and started pulling. The side of the house looks so much better than it did, but it still needs some work. While I love my lily of the valley, it just doesn’t look good where it’s growing. It’s next to impossible to pull weeds and grass around lily of the valley so it’s just got to go (and for those who have never seen lily of the valley, it’s not much bigger than grass and will NOT kill off the weeds like tiger lily will).
Luckily I have some friends at a greenhouse that can point me in the right direction as to what to plant on the side of the house. Since I can’t be trusted to constantly plant things every year, I need perennials. No more lily anything though, I have far to many as it is (the tiger lily is slowly taking over my entire back yard!). No, we need something small that will not only take over a small area beside the house, but kill off the weeds too. Hey it worked for the back – even though I had to pull some weeds, the amount gets smaller and smaller every year thanks to the tiger lilies (and the iris that was planted last summer).
So anyway, because of the nice weather, this week is perfect for tending to the flower beds outside. Go pull some weeds, plant some flowers, or just clean up the yard if you don’t want to go all out. The important thing is you get outside and make your house look nice. =)
