It's A Jungle Out There....


Like Topsy, my garden "just growed". If a gardener knows anything at all, he knows that life hums along, no matter what and there is always work to be done. The sweet spot in front of my wrought iron fence in the back of the garden is only 8" in depth, but already the plants (chard, mustard, parsley) have gone to seed and the weeds have overtaken it. I don't mind the going to seed part of this equation, since I'm a seed saver and the mustard is so unique I want to replant it next year (hope it's not a hybrid!), but the constant need to weed is cramping my style as well as my legs.
