In 2 hours the countdown to butt-in-chair starts! Hilarious!

Well now, I can't believe I actually got all the stuff done that I wanted too, Wheee!! Weeding done, propped the tomatoes and one of my Poblano plants up a bit better, reinforced the support for the Coreopsis, amongst all the weeds I found 2 rescued Iris plants and one rescued Lambs Ear that I'd totally forgotten about ( Whistling ) so I got those installed. Rolling on the floor laughing

I was so sure those tall weeds out there were that thing whose name eludes me, but it turns out the "trunks" weren't square at all. They might look sorta octagonal in the picture, but they felt totally round to the touch. They had REALLY long tap roots though, so I'm pretty darned confident that I didn't kill anything I'd rather have kept! Confused

First group of pics shows how those weeds were overwhelming the Paeony and other babies in that corner, then close-ups of the blooms and "berry" things on it, and then a close-up of the "trunk".

I think it's "that weed" but I'm just not entirely sure. Shrug!

Got a nice closer-up look of the mater plants and, Wheeeee, there's LOADS of greenies on the Grape Tomato plant!! Hurray! Mmmmmmm, I LOVE grape tomatoes!! Lovey dubby A nice cluster or 2 on one of the Early Girl plants... funny how the "Early Girl" is producing so late, huh? Shrug!
