(Emotionally) Quiet Evening...
Got home from my water aerobics class after I spent an extra hour walking back and forth in the water. I couldn't have done that back at the start of September, so I think I've made a lot of progress over the past month. I was even able to walk from the dressing room all the way out to the parking lot without stopping today! That, in and of itself ( Read more... )

You didn't ask, but I'm volunteering my perspective anyhow.
If weeds are simply plants in places we'd rather they weren't, it does seem to me that you'd take a very aggressive stance on whatever multiplies freely, much as you've done with that Virginia creeper. Those Chinese chives, like their more common cousins, do multiply vigorously and very readily, so you're in a position to afford to dig out plenty and plenty of those. They'll rebound quickly enough.
You could, if you chose to do so, put the chives into small plastic (but NOT styrofoam!) beverage cups and let your hubby take them to work for anyone to take home and plant either in their own garden beds or into more herb-appropriate pots for the kitchen windowsill. Rather than punching holes for drainage into the bottoms, use a utility knife to cut the merest slivers of plastic from the "corners" (wall of the cup meets the bottom), three or four evenly spaced, to allow for drainage. (Or, if you have some sitting around, those thin brown plastic---black on the inside---pots ( ... )

I think it's a fringe benefit of all the exercise classes I'm taking: Four a week.
I come home after a class, take a quick nap, and then I'm raring to go the rest of the day.
It keeps my metabolism revved up as well and helps me burn lots of calories.
