We've had a lot of rain this week, which made the soil perfect for pulling the weeds which have overgrown my garden. I always get the same weeds and I thought I'd try to identify the ones I didn't know. I finally found them, along with the ones that only pop up occasionally, and I'm way too excited over it!
I apparently have prickly lettuce (very easy to pull but I have tons of them), bull thistle (my gigundo plant from last year), common mallow (a pain to pull), and common mallein. I already knew I have dandelions and grass that spreads from the neighbor's lawn (sigh). Of course I also have the ever-prevalent trees, which we finally pulled or dug up on Thursday night, thanks to the soil that was saturated quite deeply! I was too tired to take pictures of the trees after pulling them. It was a lot of work and Nathan had to help with the three largest ones. I think they are elm trees but I'm not really sure. They line our fence on one side and provide excellent backyard privacy in the summer.
