The Toadflax is blooming!
This is not snow! These are blossoms dropped from the black locust trees. What a mess. Does anyone else have this sort of problem and if so, how do you handle it?

As for the locust blooms, I don't let them bother me because they look so pretty - like snow in late spring. I typically mulch my beds closer to the locust tree a little heavier in order to keep seeds from sprouting. If you pull the tiny trees when thery're litter, it's just like any other weeding.
