Garden on the back burner

Not much to post as we've been so busy I haven't had the time to work in my garden much.

I finally got the roses mulched, and the black spot taken care of of course. I can't remember if I mentioned that in the previous entry - if not, yes, it's all done now and everyone's had a systemic anti-fungal. It looks really nice!

I have some columbine in the front hosta garden and it has been so pretty there. This year it set off a few tiny plants and I am thinking about digging them up and potting them indoors over winter. It would be nice to have several of them in the garden!

The weeds have taken over the lawn. I don't know WHAT to do about the lawn. The best solution I can think of is to hire someone to come treat it professionally. We gave it a weeder feeder twice in spring thinking that would be good maintenance. Well we now have no grass but tons of carpeting weeds, go figure. Our neighbors all have gorgeous lawns. Ours is brown with patches of green weeds. It's lovely.

I went around last weekend with the roundup getting rid of any weeds I could find in the gardens and killing a few in the grass. I have NO idea if it will help - in another week or so we should know!
