Re: A rain-wet Garden..
Thanks!
I have not done any work at this garden so far this year. The only thing I have done, is some light weeding. Last year I went all-out and bought the black weed-inhibiting fabric that you put down to block unwanted weeds. I rolled all of the big boulders over, stuck this stuff in so it covered the garden space, and weighted it down with the boulders. Then I just cut a hole for the things i was planting (lilies, roses, ec.) In this way, it really pevents weeds in the one half of the garden (near where the hosta is.) I mulched over it and the mulch in the pics is last year's. I let one half of the garden go "natural" with wild strawberries, daisies, etc. I always see garter snakes and toads making homes there
My advice to any gardeners: Perennials are your friend!! I like some annuals for their beauty, but I love having things grow back year after year and, like the lilies, be bigger every year.

Re: A rain-wet Garden..
Oh; I hear you about weeds. There are these horrific thistles that seem to get ten feet tall; they take over a nice field of grasses and ruin it. And they are nonnative species to boot!
