Would anyone like to join me in a yardwork thread? I need to do weed wacking, general picking up, gardening and so much more.

I can join in from time to time. Certainly the yard is telling me it needs attention. Back needs mowing, and everywhere needs weeding.
Finished mowing the front yard a couple of days ago, and I should do the back today. I'll also spend a couple of minutes tending to the fun thing: I sowed seeds to make a butterfly garden, there are cute little seedlings now, so that needs a little cautious weeding.

Weed whacking, spray mostly poison ivy, water a few herbs is about all I do on this overgrown acreage. Weed whacking and spraying are always on the top of my list. Mosquitoes may eat me alive but I have to do it so hope this thread is a motivator for short sessions a few times a week. I use the premix fuel in my gas weed whacker. Stopped mixing the fuel myself a couple of years ago.
I recently gifted the ZTR riding mower. I simply could not maintain it myself anymore. Weed whacking will have to do.

Mowed the back lawn, and that was enough for me.

My husband mowed the lawn yesterday and youngest son weed wacked. More stuff needs to be done but I'm so thankful for this.

I did some mowing two days ago, some more last night, and will finish this morning. There's not much left to mow, so I will probably throw in a tiny bit of weeding before it gets too hot.
My butterfly garden seedlings are coming along nicely. I started them later than ideal, but I have hopes that at least some of them will flower in time for butterfly happiness.
I'm glad the others stepped in to help!

Update: the mowing is finished, and I dealt with the weeds a little.

Had an excuse to not weed whack last week, arm was used for heart cath. This week it is hot and so humid and have 2 doctor appointments this week. Still I could at least spray around the septic tank? I will get the spray tanks ready this evening...and powder down with sulphur when I do spray. Chiggers are terrible. Also mosquitoes since I have a 1/2 acre stock pond next to the house. On a positive note I get to listen to booming noise bull frogs early morning and evenings...even an occasional whippoorwill.

Mowed front and back lawns today. Usually I do them over two days. Badly in need of weeding, but I'mnot going to be able to get to it for a while.
