May 2019 – spend the entire morning form 7:30AM-11:30AM, with one break, weeding, deadheading the blanket flower, trimming the tropical sage. I find many “colonies” of spotted spurge [Spotted Spurge] and wood sorrel [Wood Sorrel]. The wood sorrel looks like little tiny clover leaves, but tiny and just spreads outward! There’s also all the grasses – crab grass, signal grass, cheat grass. No matter what the weather, the weeds seem to flourish! Now I’ve got chickweed!
In addition, I have to worry about the flowers that have re-seeded themselves outside the beds – the beebalm, the blanket flower, the tropical sage! Oh a gardener’s work is never done!
After I went inside and showered, at my office window, who is walking through my wildflower garden, but the little cattle egret! Love to watch him walk - the rewards of having providing native plants for native wildlife!
