This summer the heat has been relentless. Week after week, sometimes with thunderstorms in the evening, there is no relief. The weeds are out of control. Who says if you pull them by the roots they won’t come back? Weeds have seasons, like all plants.
Anyway, as I pull in and out of the driveway, I see them infiltrating every bed that I previously fully weeded. Right now the herb garden, which I didn’t get to, is driving me nuts.
I went out the other evening to, “just pick the big ones,” well you know how that went. I weeded half the bed until I could barely get up. I pulled out masses of thyme, the Greek oregano was 3’ high. I trimmed back the lavender and rosemary and most of all pulled out every damn weed there was! One more evening and I finished the herb garden.
