6-8-11 SHORT HILLS: Now it’s summery again, today is in the mid-nineties and tomorrow may get to 100°. Today I weeded in the morning for an hour or so and was soaked. You can break a sweat outside by snapping your fingers. The wet spring and hot summer weather, even if it’s not officially summer, has the weeds flourishing, as well as the desired plants, but the weeds seem so much hardier and aggressive.
The last few days have been more weeding and pruning and dump runs with the debris piles.
I have also weeded the ads from the blog, too distracting and not worth it. In the months they have been running, I have pulled down a cool $2.23.
New blooms: mountain laurel.
Elderberry,
Sambucus nigra, gets blue-black berries. The berries, cooked, are used in jams, wine, pies, but are toxic uncooked.
