I worked on it for a few hours, but it was so fucking hot in the sun, and the humidity meant sweating did more to blind me than it did to cool me, and I was bent over, chopping roots, using muscles that haven’t been used much in years. That said, I did make progress!

I like this angle better;  looks like there’s less left to do.

I bought a bunch of perennials, and I think I’ll get a few more from a different seller. Hopefully, they won’t arrive until the weekend…assuming I’m not still crippled by then. Aleve on the menu tomorrow, I’ll bet!

EDIT: Went to “fluff up” phlox soil in hopes of seeing some sprouts…but I was too late. Not many, but enough that I didnt want to disturb the soil and kill those brave little seedlings!
