Could you have asked for better weather on this first day of summer? I couldn’t have. Much like most evenings, I spent my time in the garden. I’ve been having problems with some animal eating my beans and peas, so I replanted the beans and put up a temporary fence around them. The location of the peas doesn’t allow me to put up a fence, so I can only hope that whatever is eating them will stop because I will not be happy if I don’t get a crop of sugar snap peas from this year’s garden.
I guess there really is a first time for everything–I’m pretty much caught up on weeding. Brian made the observation this evening that weeding is kind of like sanding, but worse. I don’t agree. If the weeds get out of control, taking care of them certainly is a chore. But I’m in maintenance mode this year, so it hasn’t bothered me at all. It’s a zen thing.
Something also keeps making a mess of the mulch in my herb garden. I straightened that out yet again. Note to self: don’t mulch the herb garden next year.
It’s getting to the point where I’m going to have to find something else to do with my time in the evenings. The weeding project will continue all summer, but you have to give the little buggers a chance to grow before you pull them out. Looks like I’m going to have to dust off my “to do” list. Luckily, there are plenty of items on that list to keep me busy when the weeds aren’t calling.
