i think i might just wait until right before winter to spray them if it does fuck up the yard at all. the old man next door doesn't know what he's going to be up against. i'm 100% ocd when it comes to shit like this.

then after winter do everything i can to prepare the lawn.

i also weeded along the left side of the house (from the far bush, around the corner was all weeds, couldn't even see mulch).



broke two shitty gardening tools digging out one of those round black plastic dividers to hold mulch in and cut my hand after the handle ripped off.

got the divider thing even with the ground again. moved the loose mulch, dug up all the dirt, mixed it around and together (some was real dry). spread it back out and put whatever was left of the mulch back over it.

i figure it's better to weed it all now, couple more times before winter and leave whatever mulch is left for the rest of the summer / fall and then replace everything in the spring right?
