We've been busy this past week! We discovered the area that we planned for a vegetable garden was really a bed of weeds. Not just any weeds either. It is more like a grass that looks a lot like onions - with bulbs 2-3" down in the soil. They can't be killed with weed killer, we actually have to tear out the entire top layer of weeds, bulbs, and soil. We estimate that there are hundreds of thousands of these lovely things. That pile there is only a portion of what has come out of our garden. We still have 1/3 or so left to go, and we just keep saying that these vegetables better taste REALLY good! We hope to be finished this week and plan to start planting Monday. My tiny little bed on the other side of the house is already sprouting! I should have fresh spring mix lettuce pretty soon.
