When I move here to Wisconsin, I was sure that I would weed out my front flower beds and have a beautiful flower garden like my Mom has up in Alaska. I planted 2 bleeding hearts, they didn't make it after that big hail storm when I first moved here. I also planted from seed, a bunch of poppies, well I couldn't tell a poppy from a weed so I didn't pull anything and the weeds ( I now know what they look like!) took over and now all my weeds have died due to the hard frost that I have had. I need to rip them out now, but, that's work! I would rather read or nap then pull weeds. There! I have admitted to all that I am lazy! or I think that I would d
o better if I had company while I was pulling weeds. I also planted 8 sunflowers plants, also from seed. They were to get 6 feet tall with the flower head 8in across, something like that! Big giant ones that were going to be impressive! Well, only 2 made it, and they are about 2 feet tall, and the flower head? I would guess about 3 in wide? Oh well. maybe I will get motivated and pull some weeds here this weekend. I can see ( in my minds eye ) what it would look like if I had wonderful, beautiful flower beds. Next year I will do better!

Well if I was there I'd help you pull the weeds. I also let my flower beds go this year. Last year we let the flowers go to seed and threw those in the flower beds. I did not know what was what so I waited till they grew up and then pulled the weeds once I knew they were really weeds. Did it all in an afternoon in my work clothes. It happened to be sunny one day this summer; that's the day I did it.
