For some reason, we got lucky with the veggies last year as far as the deer. Nothing got messed with. Now, Petey's aunt was a different story. SHE was the one we had to worry about messing with the stuff. LOL!

I've wrestled with chickweed and henbit in the flower beds and can't seem to get rid of the stuff! I've yanked them out by the roots and ever'stuff. Can't spray with Round Up because of all the flowers. sheesh! A never-ending battle.
It'll be the same in the veggie garden, too.

It's almost ready for me to start planting the seeds. The tomatoes have already been started in seedling trays in the other house and will be ready soon for transplanting.

Last year, we were drowning at this time and this year, we're dry as all get-out. At least the garden is set up between two spigots that we can run long hoses from to water when necessary.

Roses do demand a lot of attention. Your wife's former mother-in-law is a lot braver than I am to grow them. LOL! I'm the "Black Death" to roses, unfortunately.

I seem to sometimes be blessed with roses.
(Though there have been some that were beyond my help. Others have made returns from seemingly beyond the grave..)

There's this little vine like weed that smells like a herb of one kind or another, has little horn shaped flowers on it, cerrated oval leaves.
And it makes me itch, though it's not supposed to.
Mira knows what it's called in Czech and German, but can't think of what it would be in English.
(The missus former mother in law is Czechoslovakian.)

Had ot get my hands on rotenone based rose dust for some stuff.
*ugh*
Using that stuff, you end up tasting it eventually, and getting a metallic taste in your mouth.
Yes, it can kill you, but it'll kill fish alot faster..
