aww, thanks, Kyla! I've been going out about once a week for a little while to pull up the worst of the weeds. Was able to spend about 3 hours out there this morning, trimming and weeding. Planted my 2 new echinaceas and transplanted one of my speedwells ('Eveline') which kept putting up shoots which would fry in the sun rather than blooming. So, I moved it to a spot where it gets a little more shelter from the direct sun.

Watering: I'm *so* glad we had that nice long rain last week--it was just what the plants needed. Just prior to that I was having to hand water the thirstiest looking. Sounds like it's been a while since you had a nice long rain, Kyla?

@JB and @Speediebean, I think you guys have hit the nail on the head with the groundhog ID. It sounds like those are the poops I've been seeing and probably who gnawed my cuke plant stems. I need to get the gate to my backyard repaired. That may help. Sounds like a job for my handy-dandy handyman!
