I have so much to do in the garden, and as luck would have it, my repetitive stress injuries in my arms are really acting up. So I have to sit with ice and heat on my arms and look out the window and see all the weeds growing so well :-(

Hope everyone else is able to enjoy gardening! I guess I get to live vicariously for now. But if I don’t get my seeds in the ground soon…

I am sorry that you are having such difficulties. In sq. ft. gardening, the plants are squeezed so close together the weeds rarely get a chance to get a foot hold.

Then in the winter, they have cover crops grown so close together that the weed don’t grow. The mel’s mix is easy to pull out whatever needs to be done-much easier than regular soil.

I am sometimes tempted though to simply grow stuff in containers. All the planting done on a patio table saving the back. Hope you get better soon.
