Returning home after a 10-day vacation at this time of year is a mixed blessing. The rain and the heat took good care of my flowers and vegetables and kept most pests at bay naturally. Mulched garden and beds did beautifully however I was quickly reminded why it's important to mulch heavily and early.
Unfortunately, the weeds also appreciated the water and heat - BOY did they appreciate it! I've spent several hours each day since my return bringing order to the chaos in the sections of flowerbeds and garden which I did not have time to mulch before leaving on vacation. There's an herb or two in there somewhere, I just know it....now to find it...
