Got our seraphim statue in place, in the lily bed. She may look small, but she stands (kneels) almost four feet tall. Got the madonna and asian lilies planted in the same bed too. Mulch really works on keeping down the weeds out there. I have been fighting that weed problem ever since I started it 25 years ago. Just took FOREVER in the spring to pull out the weeds, then FOREVER in the summer to re-pull. Finally decided a few years ago, that's it. I am sticking all kinds of lilies in out there, and mulching between after they come up. It is working! Yes we still have giant fescue coming up in batches, which I work on keeping down, and yes we still have giant dandelions coming up, which I also dig out. But basically it looks a whole lot better than it used to. Hubby is planting flower seeds out in the garden, in the empty spaces. Got some 12 foot high giant sunflower seeds last night. We shall see. Otherwise, zinnias and cosmos and smaller sunflowers are going to be the flowers of choice this year. Rain is predicted for this afternoon and the next few days, so perfect timing on planting the seeds I hope. Gardening now consists mainly in weeding and trimming, oh and don't forget the mowing. Keeping up with what we have done so far.
