Mikey take it from a professional gardener. You have to make it a game or something to properly weed. I try to use it as a patience building time. I look at a small square and weed it, very methodically going down the bed or row, like picking out the thing that doesn't match the shape of the rest of the garden, slowly, like a meditation, feel the roots and gently pull them out so you get all the ends, Then you won't have to go back and re weed as often. Try to look at it as a good time to think or not think and just be with the weeds. Two summers ago I have to weed a bed that was 2km long and 6 ft wide, I felt like it would never end, but it did and I had alot of fun talking with the people I worked with.

I hope you find the patience and mental frame to enjoy a simple and annoying necessity. You are really making some veggies happy !


Good morning Yahooka, it's mowing for me today after 5 days of pruning and weeding by myself....which I actually prefer

Love you all

Sageji
