When not working on fencing (ie. mostly before the fencing project started full tilt; before buying a horse), and mostly during outside play time with Junior, I have spent a lot of my time weeding, thinking about weeds, imagining weeds magically gone, imagining weed genocide, and all sorts of odd weed related things.
Professionally, I am a Landscape Architect. Thusly, I HATE WEEDS. They are just not something that I tolerate in my daily life, work or personal. So the weeds all had to go! I would have simply let 100 goats go to town on the property the day we moved in, but alas, our HOA doesn't allow goats (or pigs). So instead I've been breaking my back (literally) and pulling them all by hand. Bonus, I've lost 3 pounds!
I took a million photos of weeds, and almost posted them all. But then realized that NO ONE wants to see that many photos of weeds. So I picked a few of the more pertinent ones.
Vegetable Garden #1. Note weeds also growing around the outside of the garden. |
Vegetable Garden #2: prior to weeding |
Vegetable Garden #2: prior to weeding |
Between the Gardens - More weeds, but of course! |
I am mostly done. One by one, I have been pulling up and stacking the weeds in a giant burn pile. I have weeded all the flower beds around the property and really only have the second vegetable garden left to finish. Once finished, I will share some before and after pics. I would have finished it by now if it weren't for the fencing project. But trust me, it will be done before the snow sticks. Oh yes, it will!
That or I will have to buy 100 sheep costumes for 100 weed eating goats...halloween is just around the corner after all.
LOL!! That last comment cracked me up! I can't wait to see your after pictures. Your place is going to be gorgeous. :D
