Today, June 2, I finally got outside to assess the situation in the yard. I can happily report that the shrubs, flowers, and especially the daisies came back strong and bigger than ever. However, the weeds were not to be left out of the race and also came back strong and bigger than ever.
So Shelly supervised while Archer and I got to work. We pulled out grass, weeds, and something that looked like a tree (it was taller than the boy!). I dug out a root that was as big around as Archer's forearm, while he dug around in the dirt and picked petals off the daisies. It was a tough morning but we got a lot done and it was so nice to spend time outside with Archer. It was especially nice that most of the flowers are a lot tougher this year than last, and I'm confident that they'll survive Archer clomping around in the dirt and throwing dirt clods at them.
I'm really happy with the daisies and I'm considering moving the other plants somewhere else and letting them take over the whole corner under Archer's window. The primroses also look like they're spreading well, I can't wait for their pretty, delicate blooms to show up!
