1. I reclaimed a portion of my yard from The Mighty Prickerbush(tm). It involved a lot of hacking off of pricker branches followed by embarassingly girlie throws of said branches into the woods.
2. The retaining wall bed was, um....we'll just say "a mess" in the interest of brevity. I'm pretty sure in the process of cleaning it up, I yanked out things I planted last year and carefully pruned back weeds.
3. I still have two beds to do but my irises defeated me. These things are, like, three feet across and full of dead stalks and 472 billion dead straw-like stringy things. It took me a half hour to hack one down to the ground so the new buds have room to come up.
4. Bottom line: I should not be allowed to grow things.
5. I'm now replenishing my strength with some crazygood Chinese food (tofu with broccoli in garlic sauce). Mmmmm. Almost makes the outdoor torture worth it.
