controlling the weeds

Today I had a free day to potter in the garden - nothing specific to do, just potter around.  Two major jobs tackled - weeding out the grass thats grown between some losely paved bricks.  I've got a beaut little tool that is really thin and kind of like a sharp flat hook - you can easily pull up weeds by putting in between the bricks and under the weeds - just hook them out, it didnt take long.

Also I've got one rather boggy part of the garden and I've planted some arum lillies and other marsh loving plants in this spot.  They're doing well but had lots of weeds around them - now mulched.  The plan is after summer to put in a hothouse at this spot.  We'll see.
