Use the swamp to your advantage and fill it with cardinal flowers!
It was nice yesterday so I weeded. The ground is wet and I still had to take the Hori knife out to dig things out. All the beds need weeding, but I started in the rose bed. I dug out plants that have sowed with wild abandon. I made some empty spots. I've got everything else cut back now.
