Plethora of Weeders Today

Goodness what a great group of gardeners this year!  With the good weather and constant supply of water, the weeds ARE growing in every garden.  Yesterday and today, quite a few gardeners stopped by to weed their plot.  Miss Judy, I want to know who won the Slurpie???  Kids did a good job.
What fun sharing garden chatter and some of the gardens are looking totally impressive!  Several have tomatoes with flowers, and some have fabulous broccoli coming up.
If you have not weeded your garden since it was planted...(uuuhmmm...there are several) you need to take an hour or so to weed BEFORE the weeds take over.  Gardening is a bit of work...but the bonus is a delicious, healthy payoff!
Several have been picking the outside leaves of their romaine/lettuce.  If you are new to gardening, you can start picking your outside leaves, which will give you a nice salad!   And your plant will grow better.
