Wow! I have never heard of such an amazing tool as your weeding gadget; I'll have to look into that as I found it very challenging to get on my stomach to pull weeds from under the cypress and pine trees.<br /><br />You've done so much already, Melanie, considering the rain and cold you've had this spring. Kudos to you and your hubby!<br /><br />Poppy Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-18806485611209524932017-05-31T12:35:14.272-07:002017-05-31T12:35:14.272-07:00The clematis looks amazing!

The clematis looks beautiful and was a great idea to plant it along the fence.<br />Love your butterfly garden. I think it will be a magnet for the bees and butterflies. My lambs ear is currently in bloom and the bees love it.<br />The weeder looks like a wonderful weapon to have in the gardening arsenal ;). I'm all for anything that makes the job easier. There is so much to be done at this time of year. It sounds like you are doing a good job of keeping up with it despite your knee issues.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-48230884403351969632017-05-28T09:58:27.204-07:002017-05-28T09:58:27.204-07:00So sorry to hear your knee is still an issue.

Some things just don't come back for crazy reasons. I always try something new.<br /><br />It feels so bad to have limitations...I did that two years ago with the broken arm. Thankfully it happened in July and my pots and beds were planted, but the watering and weeding was insane. I just hung on.<br /><br />I hope you are having a great holiday weekend. I'm at the lake for awhile and loving it by my lonesome!!!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-81485618017736660982017-05-27T16:54:51.337-07:002017-05-27T16:54:51.337-07:00oh lol I want that weeder :)

We have lots of shade in our yard, so like you, lots of weeds too. We aerated this year for the first time and overseeded. I don't think the seed did all that much, but maybe the aeration will help. Hope your knee improves!Sweet Posy Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915541210527642552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-38890472419959229442017-05-27T10:33:13.348-07:002017-05-27T10:33:13.348-07:00It's fun peeking about your backyard.

At least we haven't had to turn on the sprinkler system yet, and the grass is growing like crazy. The clematis looks great! I'm hoping mine takes off this year, too. I put in a butterfly garden last weekend and will get some pictures up soon. The planters from Ikea are cool!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-70369065366621757982017-05-27T10:21:59.279-07:002017-05-27T10:21:59.279-07:00Melanie, your garden is coming along splendidly, s...Melanie, your garden is coming along splendidly, such variety of blooms. I love your tiered planter and agree that it is going to be beautiful when the vines grow more. You must remember to take another photo. Your clematis is lovely; I had two at our old house and will have to add one here somewhere. I think they are so pretty :) I do hope that your knee is back to normal very soon, it must be hard being limited. Although; it doesn't look like it is stopping you from enjoy your yard. <br />Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-77754993774832762692017-05-27T09:27:54.518-07:002017-05-27T09:27:54.518-07:00I sure don't miss having grass and weeds! Look...I sure don't miss having grass and weeds! Looks like you've found a handy little tool there. I have found that I often have to rethink things I took for granted when I was young. For instance, I can't stand long, so I rely on my little 20 year old Walmart rolling plastic cart to maneuver around the patio. You've found your tool so you don't have to bend. Great thinking! Thanks for the shout out, Melanie. I think our sharing with one another really helps us be better gardeners!<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-40849856220563163012017-05-27T08:58:38.037-07:002017-05-27T08:58:38.037-07:00That clematis is so pretty, and it must make you h...That clematis is so pretty, and it must make you happy to view it from inside the window. I really love clematis and was happy to find one growing here.<br /><br />I think you've done a lot considering the weather and recovering from knee surgery, Melanie. And it's easy to imagine how much everything will grow by the hot months of summer. Having a butterfly garden is such a wonderful idea! I hope you'll have lots of pretty visitors there this summer.<br /><br />I've written down the name of your weeder!
