Weeding and Whacking

There is just something so...I don't know...satisfying about weeding the garden.

Especially when your garden is a sticker patch and you use a weed whacker to do it.

Seriously though. I spent a good two hours out in my garden today and it felt so good to stand up, stretch and see my whole four rows of potatoes, six tomato plants, and four pepper plants are now the only things standing tall in my huge (and hugely empty this year thanks to the late spring) garden. The weeds are chopped or pulled, the stickers are cut back and it looks like it should. Weeded.

Now to wait for my apparently prolific tomato plants to start showing some red amongst the green...I'm drooling over the thought of a fresh picked tomato...

And wishing I hadn't chosen one of the HOTTEST days of the year to go work outside. Whew...
