You CAN change fate.
Destiny doesnt care about the pattern,
as long as the result is the same.

They look great!
I've been weeding a bit from the edge too. I bought a scuffle hoe just so I could reach a little further into the beds and not have to walk on anything. It is a very simple but hugely useful tool IMHO.

Glad to see the happy green!

Alexa - I tried your link 3 times, but it didn't work for me. All I got was 'The page cannot be found'.
I don't have a lot of weeds in most beds. But what I do have is 10 billion maple seeds from the neighbor's tree that are all sprouting now. They're easy to pull when it's wet like this, but there are so many of them!! Clumps of them where they've been piled up by water, wind, & snow. And they're thick along my brick edging [both sides] and in the crowns of many hostas in the bed where they're the worst.

Nice, Jim!!! I can hardly wait to see that in my own garden, but with the weather they're predicting for this week, I'm walking around yelling "NOT YET!!! STAY DOWN THERE!"
(fortunately I have no neighbors close enough to hear me)
Mine will have to fight through the weeds when they do start to unfurl. Ack.
I have a scuffle hoe, and a nice pointy triangle one (can't remember what it's called, but it's razor sharp on both long sides of the triangle). I use them as I can, but back problems dictate that I must do most of my weeding from ground level. It takes way longer, but also gives me a lot of 'face' time with the hostas.
