Tenacity Update and Gardens

The P. trivialis is definitely dying out, as is all the P. annua. It looks like no further treatment will be necessary this spring, as there's no remaining unwanted grasses.

Discoloration of the surrounding areas is minor in most places, although the northern face did discolor a bit more. In very few cases is it more than mildly annoying, and the grass should recover in June.

For all photos, you can click to embiggen them, as always.

Robin's nest, discovered when trimming the Viburnum--I stopped and will continue the cut-back when the babies are out of the nest:

The first of the Teddy Bear sunflowers, still only partially open. If these are as durable as claimed and rebloom as they're supposed to, they'll find much wider use in the gardens next year!
