I’ve almost conquered the weeds in my garden Granny. Which is no small feat living in Iowa where we’ve gotten plenty of rain as you know. Then hopefully I can post more.

So nice to be reminded how much I hate crabgrass as I’ve weeded the same patch 3 times in the last month. However, my tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are beautiful as a result. Some organic 5-5-5 fertilizer from Renaissance and gypsum does wonders.

Defeating crabgrass is a project that deserves a “Medal of honor”, that is no easy job.

At least in Iowa, the crabgrass and the vegetables will grow.

Crabgrass/Bermuda grass are the evils that we have to fight, to enjoy the gifts of nature when we can grow them.

It is good to see your name here any time, and I am tired of seeing granny all the time.........LOL, maybe I should ask for a second name, to break it up a little.

Are you canning and dehydrating the food you are growing?

I am so happy that the gardens grew for all of you this year.
