Now -- with the above pictures, you've gotten a glimpse of my weed situation! Might as well share the whole ugly truth with you.
First picture is of the area that I haven't gotten to yet. This shows what a mess I had on my hands.
Second picture shows the mess in the Red Maple area -- there are Irises, Daylilies and Monkey Grass in there...........
Third picture is of the area that I've gotten cleared so far:
Here's a picture of the debris from cutting back of the grass plants, and pruning the yews (sides only -- haven't gotten the top done yet)
Notice the poor lilac -- blooming -- with weeds surrounding it.
That job's done though -- weeds pulled and sprayed.
Yikes.
