almost all of my gardening is done first thing in the morning..when it is cool out..i take my coffee and the furbabies out there with the clippers..dead head flowers,cut flowers to bring inside.I weed alittle at that time too. i put thick layers of newpapers,after the garden gets going, and add grass clippings on top..helps keep the weeds down.
the sun in not in my backyard until around 1 or 2pm. sometimes i sit on my butt and drag my coffee around with me, and hand cut the edging of grass. i love it is the morning..when it gets too hot,i head inside to sew.
( i keep a bucket outside and put some water in it for fresh cut flowers,and another one for minor weeding..)
