The Garden Erupts with Plants!

We've had lots of rain this spring...

(Or is it already summer?!)

Plants (as well as weeds) are erupting in the garden...

So I need to weed!

As I write this, irises are the tallest flowers in bloom...

... But I'm also noticing little ones, like these white flowers that might belong to the variegated ornamental grass next to the road...

My goal is to have a rim of flowers all around our yard...

But the flowers are always in competition with weeds that threaten to overwhelm them and cover them up!

My gardening war: the flowers versus the weeds... (Especially the gout weed!)
