It took about six hours of serious pick and shovel action but I have now completed Phase II of the salmon berry removal project. We broke 80 degrees yesterday and my car just told me it was 81 degrees when I pulled into the driveway. Bet I lost a gallon working this afternoon. An icy cold Gatorade really hit the spot!
The thicket.
No more thicket.
I picture a weeping white spirea and an azalea.
A few annuals survived the record July rainfall.
And I am pleased with the hollyhock mallow...
...which is doing well in multiple locations.
Hmmmm. A campanula? I don't remember; but happy to have him aboard.
If the weather holds it will be a deadheading and weeding kind of day tomorrow. And taking the blowtorch to the weeds in the gravel - I've got a bad-ass weed burner. When you live in a rain forest, you get to use fire in the garden.
