Summer 2011: a good one for weeds

If you missed me while I was gone, I was weeding. We've had a hot summer with sufficient moisture to allow weeds to go crazy. It's a draining process: heat, humidity, and the Sisyphean futility of trying to stay ahead; for every two weeds I remove or kill, three take their place. I know there's hope though. Parts of my own garden are quite clean and whole section of the Asian Collection are adequately attended to with a weekly walk through. Still, considering parts of China Valley, Korean Hill, and much of my back garden, it's occasionally overwhelming.
