There's lots of local asparagus available, thankfully! And a good thing as it's such a space hog.<BR/><BR/>No complaints here, CC. It is FUN drudgery. And keep up that weeding.<BR/><BR/>M, Michael Pollan resorted to chemical warfare to rid his Connecticut garden of groundhogs. Would you consider doing the same?<BR/><BR/>Phelan, Canning Season begins this week! (Strawberry jam.)<BR/><BR/>Jane, I understand completely where YOU need to spend time in your garden!! And a good thing, too. Doesn't it feel great to get some weeding accomplished?<BR/><BR/>Moonbear, I lust after your lemons. I seem to remember really nasty weeds in my city garden that I really could not eradicate (plantain, chickweed) no matter how hard I tried. Eventually I moved and solved my problem : ) But your chookies probably love that grass!Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878724196098024140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-23261768173865808422007-06-12T09:11:00.000-04:002007-06-12T09:11:00.000-04:00haha! ok I am a dork, I totally missed the part ab...haha! ok I am a dork, I totally missed the part about canning season, sorry.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-36789475589669377572007-06-11T14:49:00.000-04:002007-06-11T14:49:00.000-04:00If only weeds were an edible crop for humans...I a...If only weeds were an edible crop for humans...<BR/>I am on the wrong side of a battle with bermuda grass on my city lot. When I pull out a bushel or so I take it into the hens yard. They love to scrabble around in it, but I wonder if I am actually propagating it in the process. I can't seem to give up the idea that if I just keep after it, I will eventually discourage it. I am harvesting chives, onions, basil and lemons from my garden. I tend to look more at what I don't have than what I have. Must correct that.Moonbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703879019455303112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-63544511525573292112007-06-11T12:40:00.000-04:002007-06-11T12:40:00.000-04:00I have been weeding all day - a great sunny ringfe...I have been weeding all day - a great sunny ringfenced gardening day - wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Vegetables pay second fiddle to the flowers at the moment (gotta make a living) so I am very envious of your peas.

I did a lot of weeding, and it took me a little while to be able to just zip right through a row. I'm lucky I guess in that I only have about four or five types of weeds right now and they are pretty easy to identify. I think we are at about the same point in the season as you. Too bad the groundhog ate my peas.meresy_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586109095715179608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-1355404579610189302007-06-10T18:12:00.000-04:002007-06-10T18:12:00.000-04:00And you're complaining? :DNo, you're not.

I try to grow just enough to eat in season. <BR/><BR/>Your peas look good. I think I'll get one more good picking out of my peas, and then they will be done for the season.Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.com
