Tidying Up

Have you got the floppies? I love that word and first read it on Janet's blog, Planticru notes, where she talked about the floppies she had in her garden. I sure have the floppies in my garden, and after lots of dry heat and then torrents of rain, it was time to tidy up the garden a bit. A lot of my floppies are coreopsis, heliopsis and black eyed Susans.  There was also a large clump of chrysanthemums which weren't getting enough sun.  They were flopping over other plants and depriving them of the daylight.  There is also the huge clump of heliopsis that needs deadheading.
So I took those floppies I trimmed down and put them all in a bucket and sat it on the bench at the end of the driveway to give a dull spot a shot of colour. I also need to do some weeding.  That is something I haven't done a lot of this season due to my knee surgery.  But now I'm able to bend down more, and so with the help of my trusty stool and some garden gloves I'm tackling the weeds and grass that are popping up in the garden beds. So no more blogging, back to tidying up.Have you started to tidy up your garden yet?
