Summertime and the weeding is(n't) easy
It's the first day of summer and it actually feels like summer! High temperatures and humidity make it hard working outside, especially when weeding gardens which haven't been tended to since...whenever?
From past experience, I know that any garden cleanup I do now involves a ton of weeds which have grown unimpeded. So when I was hired to tidy up this Riverdale, Toronto back and front garden, I was expecting some serious weed growth and I wasn't disappointed!
Here are some "before" pictures from the back and front yards. I knew it was going to be a long day ahead of me!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, as the saying goes. How do you weed gardens in such conditions? One square foot at a time.
You'll go crazy otherwise.
