I find I become confused if I try to garden when it’s over eighty degrees. Gary watches me carefully to be sure I don’t develop what we call the White Ring of Death – my whole face gets bright red except for a minstrel ring of white around my lips.
This weekend would have been perfect for killing the creeping charlie, redistributing the woodchip pile, moving the sunflowers, weeding the front beds, nuking the foundation and fence, and planting phlox, but it was supposed to rain. It never DID rain, but I put off the spring cleanup anyway.
iRobot needs to make a gardening robot. Floomba. Or Garoomba. Oh wait – Bloomba.

I weeded! And swept the garage. Perfect weather for it.
I should have been in the yard this weekend but it rained Saturday and then Sunday the dirt would have been too wet. So, Dr. Sexy and I stayed in and played Winerd instead. A lot more fun but I will be going out today. Dang yard is too freakin’ big and the previous owners were idiots. But, I love to garden so it’s okay.
What do you use on your creeping charlie? I’ve found that anything that will kill it also kills everything else in the vicinity.And Bloomba sounds like a million-dollar idea to me!
I get the white ring of death too! It really scares people. heh.
Bloomba! You need to trademark that, stat.
Sigh. And here’s me, raking leaves, pulling out spent tomato and courgette plants and devising a way to de-slipperify the path down to the henhouse so I don’t measure my length next time I go down there in the rain.
But at least I’m not overheating while I’m doing it.
.75 – I never sweep the garage, I take the leaf blower to it. much easier. SurprisingWoman – I’m coveting the plants in mom’s yard, so there will be a massive transplant day.Rockycat – I’m going to sick the Roundup on it. I hear four doses of Roundup willmake a dent. I plan to protect the good plants somehow. I’m picturing some type of net like the ones people use to dye streaks in their hari.Becs – I know! have to research that. magpie – It would just go through your garden and only pull up the weeds. Like a mole, only beneficial. Big Dot – I just went to Weather.com to check the weather there because in my heart I can’t believe it’s fall there.
I’ll have to borrow your leaf blower!!!!!!!
About a week ago I overheard the Lawn Nazi in my neighborhood telling another female neighbor that she was using such an incredible weed whacker that she was questioning the need for her husband. TMI. and still not enough to get me to do yardwork.
.75 – maybe you should borrow Mom’s. Mine might knock you over.Caroline – Oh. Whoa. You must really hate yardwork. How do you feel about your clothesdryer?
