Worked on the garden a little today…almost finished clearing the plot which I found surprisingly satisfying. At first, cutting the weeds down seemed overwhelming but then I discovered, there aren’t a lot of weeds as one moves toward the far edge of the garden, just big ones. It became easier. That is, I’d cut the base of a big weed and pull it up and all the little weeds that had twined around the bigger weed would come up too. Didn’t bring the camera today –will take a picture before I start to work next time to document my efforts. Am enjoying working outside. The plot is almost cleared and looks smaller than it did when full of weeds. I think one or two more work sessions will finish up the inital weeding. I guess the next step will be bagging all the dried up weeds. Filled another large bag with dried weeds I pulled earlier in the week. The ones I pulled on Thursday were still green and fresh despite yesterday's high heat. I spread them around a bit so that the sun and heat will dry them out faster. So far I've bagged two 30 gallon bags with pulled weeds and think that I'll have another three or four bags worth once the just pulled weeds dry out. Keep expecting to find a snake or some dead scarey thing under all the brush.
