Now that my vacation is over, it is time to focus on my home. My garden needed desperate weeding! With caution, I pulled, and pulled, and pulled. I half expected to grab the tail of a snake.
Many of my melons and cantaloupes were buried under grass.
Does this look like work, or what?
This past week, I added more veggies to pots. I planted several varieties of beans, corn, squash, and more okra.
I figured it would take 2 days to weed my garden. I filled basket, after basket, after basket with weeds and grass...
Surprisingly, it only took 2 hours!
Look how nice it looks, and no snakes!
My Mediterranean melons are thriving!
Some of my bounty...
My beautiful French Brocade Marigold's.

Only 2 hours? Lucky you!!! We have been slowly weeding in the evening or early morning. This morning I maganged to weed half the green beans and hopefully I will finish those this evening. The garden is looking so much better but goodness, it is taking us more than 2 hours! It will be so worth it once we are finished.
I had to jump in the pool when I was half done to cool off! I figured I'd rather wrestle with the sun, than mosquitoes in the early morn, or late eve!
What a mess of weeds but its looking good now. Let me know how you like the eggplants and peppers.. my mouth waters when I look at them... Matthew asked me today if I'd fix those bacon wrapped jalapenos for the 4th so I plan to start picking now, wrapping them minus the cheese and freeze them until needed.
Good Morning, Helen!
Your garden looks great...boy, did you do a lot of work! It is amazing how quickly those weeds can take over...definitely have a mind of their own!
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Laura
