Every year I attack a different part of my garden. In Florida things will get overgrown in a year. This year I went after a small plot next to our guest house. A day of weed pulling on my hands and knees, followed by my lovely bride doing a job I hate, laying down landscape cloth. Then I cover it all with a thick layer of cypress mulch. This year I found that I had planted a Meyer lemon by the fence, years ago. It had thrived in my benign neglect and was covered with fruit. Now it is covered with flowers. Satisfying work.
