My plan this afternoon had been to go out and plant some flower seeds under the little tree in the front yard. I grabbed my garden tools and headed out there to do battle with the Bermuda Grass currently growing under said tree. Well, I chopped and chopped and chopped, and I tried to pull that grass up, but I got nowhere with it. I gave up. I hate Bermuda Grass, but it makes up about 50% of the grass in the yard, so we can’t exactly kill it all. Replacing all the sod in the front yard is not in the budget.

I then moved on to the end of the flowerbed that Lin had started removing the grass and weeds from. I cleaned it up some more and planted a whole bunch of old seeds there: sunflowers, marigolds, and two others whose names I can’t recall. These seeds are really old and past their use-by date. I have no idea if anything will actually come up. I’ll just water it and keep the weeds out, and we’ll see what happens. Something is bound to come up.

Then the stupid rabbits will probably eat it.

I might try again under that tree tomorrow, depending on how I feel. I’m all hormonal, crampy and unhappy, and chopping around, even the little I did, didn’t make that any better. In fact, my neck is killing me from the chopping and pulling. My back isn’t too happy either. But I really want something other than Bermuda Grass under that tree, and I have a bunch more seeds, both old and new, to use up. I want some more flowers in my yard!

Puttering in the yard was the only thing of note I did all day.

Tomorrow I’d like to putter in the yard some more and do an hour in the Box Room, now that the trash bin is empty again. I can finally throw more stuff away! Yippee!
