I moved into this house in May, and the lawns had been let go for years. I'm trying to plant a gardens in a couple areas, but in others, flowering weeds have pretty much taken over. And now I have a whole area full of blue flowers - maybe Asters?
Joe Pye has gone by, Goldenrod is fading,
Last month brought Yarrow, it will still be here tomorrow.
While I try to plant what I want here, what wants to, grows out there,
But the hummingbirds and butterflies don't care.

Yesterday, I hacked down a bunch of 6' high spent Joe Pye and uncovered the entrance to quite a large burrow/den, that I hope belongs to the mother of all woodchucks.
