Weeding

My garden has been neglected since last fall...


This was actually about a month ago. The weeds took over after this... like 3 foot high and solid! It was a royal mess. We put down a thick weed fabric with mulch on top last year, and it worked great, but I wish I would've pulled the fabric right after the season ended. The weeds grew through the fabric once all the mulch started decomposing this spring, creating a huge tangled sheet. 

Last Sunday, after church we decided to tackle it.


Many hands make light work, so I enlisted Reese, Wyatt, Matt, Kaity and her friend Morganne. It made a terrible job fun and a great learning experience! 


Job complete! Now we have to pull up fabric, bring in a layer of mushroom compost from Lassen, spread and rototill. After that we will be ready to plant!
