<\/div>\n

This has been a truly remarkable spring-into-summer, with various plants about the yard springing into incredibly lush and vigorous growth, making the garden something to truly be wowed by.<\/p>\n

The down side to that is that it’s not all Good Plants with White Hats that  have been so benefited by the moisture and all, but also Evil Plants with Black Hats.  Lots of weeds springing up in beds.  Tons of clover.  Crab grass everywhere (nothing new there). And an amazingly invasive vine that is growing over everything.<\/p>\n
