Word of the day here : Weeds.
The good rain we had recently has made the weeds grow like crazy.

Good to hear from you! Hope all is well. Tell your Folks, ‘Hi!’ from me. :)

Weeds = Me, too. I have put myself on a STRICT ‘weeding schedule’ which I really only have to use in wet seasons.

I have started in the back rows of the garden where the sun doesn’t hit until 10am, and working my way towards the house. The beds themselves are OK - well mulched with straw, but there is some Timothy grass growing out of the straw it’s been so wet. And mushrooms, Fer Pete’s Sake!

The weeds are in any tiny crack between the roofing shingles Mom & I laid down for a good grip between the rows and weed suppression. Everything pulls out easily, though. I should be able to have that task done by early next week.

Then I can start all over again, LOL!

Weed. Water. Wait. :)

Broccoli crop was good - waiting on the side shoots, now. Have some Jalapenos already and one green Bell Pepper. Small Zukes on green and yellow plants and the cucumbers are REALLY loving all the wet - blooming like crazy-mad and lots of baby cukes on the vine. I had 6 plants growing up my hog panel A-Frame, but Mr. Raccoon ran off with one entire plant. Jerk.
