This month I feel like all my plants and my lawn are like a classroom full of misbehaving children!
Plants that I carefully nurtured in a good spot are outgrowing their boundaries and taking over their neighbors.
This salvia plant is crowding my lemon drop and cherry stone!!
"Look-alike" weeds are thriving in between my flowers and tomatoes, and probably hurting their root systems.
Crab grass, creeping ivy, clover, and a host of other weeds are taking over my beautiful lawn grass.
So, I've decided to approach this unruly bunch of bullies
just like I handle most problems in my life,
one small step at a time!
Here's my plan of action:
1. I have already planned to move the "takeover" plants to other spots as soon as the weather cools down a bit.
2. When I have a few minutes, I grab a handful of weeds wherever I see them. I don't have to spend much time, and it can be very productive. I'm determined to win this battle!
3. I don't like to spray chemicals on the grass that my grandson plays on. So again, when I have a few minutes, I grab my trowel and dig up some crabgrass, creeping ivy, or clover.
