Haven't done too much yet today, just cut the "grass" (weeds, crabgrass, etc.).

I plan on removing more pine straw and replacing with grass clippings from the front sunny bed in a little while. My landscaper friend just dropped off 3 large bags of great grass clippings :) I really need to get it done before we get the thunderstorms forecast for later.

I finished mulching the bed with grass!!! Ran out, but then I saw some bags by the curb at the new model home here. Great WEED FREE grass!!!! I was able to put it down into the backyard beds and still have 2 bags left. The compost can always use more.... And it still hasn't rained yet (10;30 pm)

Than again, after the backhoe destroyed the beds I had (dug under or dug up my best perennial borders) and covered them with the horrible clay found here 2 ft down, I really need to improve the soil. I should work all that grass into the soil. That will have to wait until everything dries out a bit more after Monday's deluge. (the entire yard was under 1-2 inches of water!) I'll have to pick up the remaining 4 bags from the curb...

Plan for tomorrow- move the newly identified peony and pull the garlic mustard before it seeds. Easy day! We'll see what else I decide to do.
