completely overgrown

I'm sure I haven't found everything yet, I still haven't even been tothe back of my property - completely overgrown with a large section ofwatery muck. It's a skinny long lot - 50' across by 432' long, theinterior of a block. Up near the house I've been tidying up. Foundthat some of the 'weeds' I pulled last year are this year's lilies.Still have to talk to the neighbors about the yew bushes on the propertyline - overgrown and now home to a mulberry tree growing up inside thehedge. Not a good situation.I have found 3 large rosebushes - red, yellow and orange-yellow striped.One miniature yellow rosebush, lots of day lilies, azaleas.In the back yard, I've made two 4'x4' raised beds, planted 4 tomatoes inone and in the other 1 cherry tomato, 2 eggplants and 2 green bellpeppers. The 4 tomatoes are going great. Nothing is doing well in the2nd bed. Tomorrow I'll take my sister's advice and check to see ifthey're rootbound. I was in a rush and planted them in deep twilight,so I might not have noticed at the time.My lilyturf doubled in size since last year, one of the few plants thatsurvived the trip from my last house. One other transplant survived, asucculent, and it's blooming like crazy! I have had these things for 10years at least and this is the first time I've had them bloom! I'llhave to see if I can get a picture up.
