Sun Lit Shade Tree This beautiful tree shades most of our back yard for the majority of the day.  It just looked so pretty with the sun shining on it. Yard work is almost done.  About 6 hours yesterday and another 2 hours today. Hot and buggy out there.  yuck!  A few plants need to be split and moved to new spots in the yard.  Waiting for the perennials to go on sale and will probably buy another 4-6 plants. Oh!  The weed killer recipe I posted a few days ago works like a charm.  You really need to soak the weeds with this solution.  It even killed most of the Creeping Charlie.  Just beware it DOES kill grass and anything else you spray it on so be careful.

Still waiting... These plants are still waiting to be planted.  The flower bed that will be their home is filled with Creeping Charlie.  We are concocting a homemade natural weed killer tomorrow and soaking the flower bed with the hope of getting rid of all of the weeds.  The recipe is:  1 gallon Vinegar, 2 cups Epsom Salts and 1/4 cup Dawn detergent.  Put this is in a garden sprayer, spray infected area early in the day.  Weeds are suppose to be wilted and brown by end of day.  I'll keep you posted on how well it works.
