Cousin It Needs a Haircut

I know, I know, I know!  I was supposed to trim Cousin It last fall. This is one reason why I've started blogging about Griffin's Yard.  I'm hoping it will help me stay motivated throughout the season and avoid my traditional late-summer slack.  Each year, I am passionate about Griffin's Yard until late July.  After that, for whatever reason, I'm all done.  Last year was exceptionally bad.  I stopped weeding, dead-heading and, at the end of the year did not cut back any perennials or grasses. I'm paying for it now in garden spades.
