Unfortunately, the rest of the year, it just looks shaggy. Crabgrass has snuck into it and I can't for the life of me get it out, so I decided to just dig everything up and start over. I got about halfway done before my energy gave out. As my favorite Scarlett says: tomorrow is another day.
Also crossed off a couple of spray painting projects. I'm trying to lighten up the living room for spring, so painted a bird cage and candleholder. The before picture doesn't do justice to the lovely gold paint job. Now it's gray, which I think I like, but is too glossy. Maybe a glaze to tone it down?
I also started in on a wicker chair I bought last year and plan on using in my office, but my can of Heirloom White clogged up on me and I had to quit.
Here's my inspiration photo from Ballard Design:

geeze you wore me out just reading about your handy dandy chores... here you are trying to rid of your purple stuff (lol) and i am trying to grow it... go figure!
glad you are feeling better...hughug
The creeping phlox is beautiful. Too bad you have to dig it out. I have some creeping thyme that the weeds just won't stay out of. I am determined to win out and let the weeds know who's boss.
My, you've been busy! The phlox is gorgeous! I need to get into my area and do some serious weeding. The ground cover that I planted last May is still sparse (thanks to OS thinking he was doing a favor by raking up a bunch of it in the fall!), so it's still easy to get to and spray or pull.
Have a good weekend!
Oh my, you have been busy! I love creeping phlox ... I have some around the mailbox. I do need to get out today and get some mulch spread (and do a little weeding). Hate how those coughs drag on for FOREVER! F=
