Darn, I had just cleaned out my flower beds of weeds and dead leaves and sprinkled their annual dose of 10-10-10 fertilizer. Next up was Preen to help reduce my weed crop! Now I've got to wait out the rain!
First off I killed existing weeds that had wintered over with a new product package from RoundUP which comes with a neat wand powered by battery that dispenses weed killer thru a nice cupped end that allows you to target only the weed you want and avoid spray on any nearby plants! I thought it over and decided it was for me to try. I loved it! I was able to hit all my weeds except for two that were too snuggled up to a perennial that I wanted to be sure I wouldn't kill along with the weed! Saved me lots of digging work and in just a few days I saw those darn pesky weeds curling up and dying! Yipeeee!
Regardless, I am waiting for a clear day ahead with rain to follow closely so I can spread my "Preen" to tamp down those weeds that are just waiting to pop up!
I happened to stop by our local History Center last week so I took a quick peek at the Welcome Garden Bed, that our Garden Club maintains, to see what might be peeking up. Yep, I caught some daffies in bloom and they looked so SPRINGY! Just had to take a picture to share with you!
Next I'm heading out to get my bright yellow Pansy Pot to brighten up my garage doors/driveway where I can see them often!
