Weeds is the word of the next few weeks. Every day, I clear another couple of beds ahead of the planting schedule.
It makes for a busy spring, but I found that I w**ded again the following spring if I tried to do all the w**ding in the fall.
Leaving plant matter, even w**ds, keep the good soil microbe colonies intact to do their business over the winter. Fall w**ding disturbs and disrupts those systems.
My favorite w**d finds were the two dandelions with tap roots that ran from wrist to armpit. Truly impressive, and thanks to those dandelions, for the work they did in my garden.
The chickens said they were delicious.
