I'm losing the Battle of the Dandelions and Clover, but yesterday called in reinforcements from Spectracide, the first time its been warm enough to use it since March. The spray bottle was from last season so hope its still good.
The sunburst honeylocusts in the front are getting ready o leaf out and that is always a blast of yellow. I've actually been able to sit out on the front porch the last two mornings and enjoy the azaleas which are covered in red blooms. There are still some tulips hanging in, but not for long.
The white, red and purple phlox are blooming big-time. There are also some sort of yellow flower perennial on color right now and it is especially pretty over on the east side of the house where it is interspersed with the purple phlox.
The burning bushes definitely need their spring trimming and yews are almost to that point as well. Yesterday, I bought 12 wave petunias, 3 geraniums, 24 annuals (dianthus and tall snaps) and ten other perennials at Menard's so have some planting to do the next two days.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
