Pulling out stuff.

tsubasahomeI spent a good portion of today pulling out clumps of that annoying purple-on-purple columbine that reseeded itself all over my yard. I used to be obsessed with columbine but I feel like the yard needs a change and the only color that's left is the one I liked the least. Columbine is a short-lived perennial but that particular color reseeded itself like crazy! I also fertilized the tree peonies, and all the herbaceous peonies that already bloomed. And Lauren's purple iris, since it's done blooming and I heard that variety sometimes reblooms. This is fascinating stuff.
It's a shame that the garden is done blooming so early in the season. We're in kind of lull right now. The mock orange probably won't start blooming for another several weeks, and for some reason, the first Japanese iris I planted doesn't have flower spikes this year. Huh. Maybe it needs to be divided.
It looks like that chipmunk I saved last year has decided to repay the favor by summoning all its buddies to dig holes all over our yard, and eat all our sunflowers and cosmos. They're cute little buggers but they all can go to hell.
