Right now I am in a state where I can stay ahead of them. I've been in the overwhelmed by weeds state in the past, and it was very unpleasant. The only reason why I am ahead of it now is because I moved.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268559567958002671.post-1964765794607454732012-06-16T21:30:53.027-07:002012-06-16T21:30:53.027-07:00Um, weeds?

I find 10-15 minutes a day, hoe in hand, walking from one end of the vegetable garden to the other, is sufficient to weed, examine and harvest.
