What have I been doing this weekend? Uprooting dandelions, for the most part. At least, that's what it seems like. You wouldn't know it by looking at my yard, though. Sadly, there is still substantial uprooting to go.
I did get one rosebush pruned. (I'll wait until winter for the other two. One of them continues to bloom like crazy, and the other has some promising buds.)
As I was pulling dry, woody stalks out of the planter box on the patio, it became evident that I was removing the remains of an herb garden. The aromas were lovely. I uncovered just a bit of still-living oregano, to which I've added a clump of basil. It's supermarket basil, purchased on a whim; it's looking rather defeated. I may have to just eat it, and start over from seeds.
I also ripped out a fair amount of dead brush and ivy.
But it's still a jungle out there.
I also cleaned the house as best I could. The bathrooms and kitchen are in pretty good shape (if you don't look in the oven), and the carpet is vacuumed (at least the bits where the boxes have been cleared off).
This evening, I've been tormenting myself by pricing furniture online. The bottom line: if I like it, I can't afford it. Hooray for the money pit.
