Knee Deep in Weeds.

9-6-11 SHORT HILLS: We are getting heavy rain from TS Lee, and the sump pump is sloshing away in the basement. Franks Tree took care of the red maple crown, but we’re still waiting for the electric company to do the sycamore laying on the power lines. I have done some weeding yesterday and the day before, but there is a ton to go. That’s the consequence of not being here for most of the summer. I bought a Black and Decker cordless weed wacker to help with the weeds when I’m not trying to save any plants under the weeds, so far, the battery life seems pretty short. Before the rain, it was hot and humid, muggy and buggy. We’re debating when to bring in the vacationing house plants.
