killing violets...hopefully

I painted Roundup on the remaining violets in the mondo yesterday. Hopefully it killed them and not too much mondo. I feel certain I got some mondo by mistake.

The Double Cutie that I got last year for my birthday 3 years ago started blooming last Tuesday (5/26). It's bright yellow. And there's something very tall blooming today for the first time, but I haven't gotten out there to inspect it yet.

I also dead-headed the coreopsis yesterday.

The copper identification stakes that I bought on eBay came in yesterday. I'm going to get Chip to write them so they'll be super-neat.

A week later, the violets seem completely unimpressed with the killing power of Roundup. You can see the spots where I hit it, but otherwise they're quite happy.
