Ending and Beginning

Spent half an hour hoeing dandelions and quack grass in the garden. I’m cautiously optimistic about the grass situation for this year — right now, it doesn’t look so bad. But we’ll see how it looks in a month when everything is starting to grow like mad.

Also, last summer, most of my quack grass eradication efforts were spent with a shovel, digging up as much of the roots as I could find. That’s pretty hard work, not to mention that it disturbs the roots of the vegetables. This year, I want to see if using a hoe will work well enough.

Meanwhile, the tomato plants inside are getting bigger and bigger. Most of them need to move into larger pots. We’ve still got 4-5 weeks to go before we can put them in the garden, and we’re almost out of space in the house. We have to get some down in the greenhouse.
