I'm in the same shape here with weeds. Between having the busiest work year I've ever had and the long spells of hot and/or rainy weather, it's been impossible to keep up with. It has been dry the last few weeks, making digging and weeding more of a chore too. Thankfully its raining now and today remained cool all day, I think the high was 68F. I've managed to get little spots here and there through the garden cleaned up- areas where I planted new bearded irises. I stupidly obtained 130 varieties, mostly single rhizomes but several doubles and triples too. It took me 9 weeks to get them all planted! I held off ordering bulbs fearing I may not get them planted before frost, but I may break down and order a few since I should have a break from work in November.
