Our abundant spring rains have caused lush growth in my flower beds, watering the weeds as well!
So as I enjoy my perennials, my eyes also turn to the flowers I don't want in my garden...
... weeds that have embedded themselves between bunches of irises. They are hard to dig out. When I finally succeed, I can see why!
Their large tap roots have cemented themselves in the soil! Now that I know what I'm dealing with, I'm going to have to dig more deeply - not simply try to pull them out and have the stems break off!
(A perennial garden is a beautiful thing - but weeds are a perennial problem too!)
