My poor garden. During the strike, keeping the weeds in the ground seemed like a better long-term strategy than letting them fester in a pile waiting for yard waste pick up. I've never neglected it so badly. In the past weeks, I've been able to remove some weeds and I've excited by a few surprises I've found.
When I first did some spring clean-up, I thought I'd lost two rose bushes (one that was in the garden when we bought the house and one that I'd planted) to winter kill. Early one morning last week, I was delighted to find a healthy looking sprout coming out of the older one. Just yesterday I was thrilled to see a rose on the newer one.

Hollyhocks growing beautifully behind my backyard fence. In the garden they've struggled.
