WEEDS!

The garden is coming along slowly with a late start and a too early arrival of hot weather.  The weeds are growing abundantly and we've been weeding a lot this week.

This double row of English peas is weeded on the right side while the left side shows the "before" appearance.  It's finished and mulched now!  We may not get any peas this year because the weather is so warm the peas are not flowering.  The green beans are though so we won't go hungry.

Charlie is adjusting the Farmall to fine tune his cultivation of the garden rows.  The mulched rows on the left are the two rows we've finished weeding.

Before and After

Before

While picking vegetables the other week, we reflected on the growth of our garden. Above is a photo of the garden at the middle of June. Now, toward the end of August we are just amazed at the growth and abundance with which we have been blessed! Below is a photo taken from the same place. After the photo was taken we removed the bean plants and have sowed some of our fall garden.
