Two years ago we relandscaped to create a front yard garden - the goal was to have mulch beds with blue hydrangeas spaced about 6 feet apart. A simple look, that was simple to keep. The landscaper we hired to cut out the beds and rototill must have tilled the existing daffodils randomly. So now we have the scallion-like shoots of the daffodils all over, but no flowers. The resulting appearance is very weedy looking. So we spent part of Mother's Day weeding out these halfodils.
My wife was quite happy doing this on Mother's Day; in fact, it was her choice lest you think I'm some kind of awful slave-driving gardening tyrant. I could live with halfodils and weeds alone, believe me. In fact, if it wasn't so environmentally unsound I'd probably pave the yard rather than maintain it, if it was just up to me.
Happy Mother's Day!
