There is plastic down on the big flower bed where I chopped and dug out the weeds and overgrowth. I'm looking for a garden bench on freecycle and seeing all the things around the yard I can divide and move to that space... iris, daylilies, seeds from lupines, snow in summer, columbine seeds, daisies, mother of thyme and sage. There should be plenty to dig, divide and move.
Yesterday evening I pruned out the suckers of the lilac.
