We've had lots of rain in the last few days and the ground is so soft, the weeds mostly just kind of pop out, when you pull. I started at the front yesterday, using my Jekyll weeder from Lee Valley on the stubborn ones. Today I did more of the same, then moved to the back where I tackled really big weeds in the wild area on the east border.
Then I attacked some of the really nasty pruning jobs - I got rid of lots of the weedy branches that were keeping my composters from getting enough sun and took out some of the bigger branches from the forsythia forest by the front tool shed. I'll need to get some help from my husband or nephew to cut out the biggest stems at ground level.
Several hours work that left me tired - very tired - but in a good way. I find weeding and pruning both very satisfying activities.
