I know that if I had covered this area in mulch and tended to it, it would have remained a beautiful area. Wow, did they flourish! This caused the garden to look like chaos and choked out the the desirable plants. Soil, sunlight and plenty of rain promotes growth. The problem was I had never covered it with mulch, leaving it to fend for itself. Believe it or not, I had actually weeded this area in early spring. The other day, however, I spent 6 hours in just one garden area of my backyard weeding and mulching. As a matter of fact, I generally plant and weed in the early spring and expect the garden to remain in good shape throughout the summer. And I am not one to spend days in a garden planting and weeding.
