"April Showers, bring May Flowers that bloom in June."
We are do to get some rain today in the Chicago area today.  It's a great time to divide your perennials if you have not already done so.  After a little rain is also a great time to get at the weeds in your beds.  There's still no better way to get rid of  weeds than pulling them by hand and after a little rain you will have better success getting the whole root.  Yesterday in a client's yard I went crazy pulling Garlic Mustard because it was coming out so easily in the damp woodland soil.  Seize the Day!  Happy Gardening!
