I was so glad to see these yellow irises. A friend gave me some years ago, they came up once and never agin. Hopefully, these will come up again.

They are planted with a "Scentsational" rose - that has grown out of control:

These amaryllises are from "Christmases Past" - I inherited them from my mother - wasn't sure if they were going to come up or not.

This feather-leafed purple verbena is taking over my rock garden, the boysenberry on the right at the bottom is a volunteer:

And, the more I hack away at this volunteer nasturtium, the more flowers, leaves and vines it pumps out:

I just bought a new, standing weeder - weeded for about an hour yesterday with my hand tool -and my back didn't like it one bit. Yard looks better, though...

to me this is much easier than any sort of bending over.

I do have a varied of hoe for heart work.
