Glechoma hederacea II

This spring I've changed my mind and decided not to have such a critical opinion of the ground ivy (aforementioned Glechoma hederacea) - the bees love it so.

Gardening

Since spring has sprung most of my free time has been spent trying to garden. Right now the garden consists primarily of (fairly straight) rows of rusted Hi-C cans sheltering the little seedlings I started in March and an abundance of little shoots of grass coming up in between the rows - which haven't yet been weeded because of all the rain. Having recently read about the downfall of civilization due to the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture, I'm thinking that might explain why I kind of enjoy the "adventures in gardening" I experience due to the weeds taking over the garden - it returns me to "forager" mode.
