Don't I know it. I gave up on the garden about the end of June. Our lawn didn't make it so it's now all weeds. You're right about no weeds last summer but they've more than made up for it this year. Everyone is complaining about so many coming up. I've never seen the weeds like they are now. I'm thinking it's like a prairie or forest fire and the next year sees lots of new little plants popping up.
The hills are still covered with dead cedar and such so we're still in danger of one spark setting everything off.
My lawn is weeds. Dallas grass, some other green stuff, some bermuda, and some St Augustine. I just mow it and hope the St Augustine takes over. During our annual BBQ the cooks do a job out there, the food is so good, I just keep the weeds, cause they always come back. Shoot, it’s green all year long.
YIPPEE, we have planted the first 3 rows of veggies and some watermelon in the Community Garden!! Now to disk more ground, and get ready for the fall/winter crops. Get more people involved. We’ve had some school kids over doing some of the ground work. I’ve been at this for 4 years, 1 year knowing where it will be, 5 months waiting for the trees and scrub brush to be removed, NOW..it’s becoming a place for everyone who wants to....plant something.
