My veggie garden paths were pure weeds after all our rain. Dh took the weedeater out there and cut the paths right down to the dirt. Looks perfect now. No way we could have pulled all those weeds by hand. Love the bluebirds!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Truly a piece of paradise! The path is wonderful, the gardens are wonderful and damn I love that tractor! Your yard is really something to be proud of, just lovely....
I don't use a hoe...however, I do have a tip for you. The part about bending over, that usually hurts your back- is the constant bending and straightening. I just stay bent over for as long as I can and then straighten up. This is how the Native Americans planted, etc. (or so Google tells...

Excellent! I planted a tea garden, that I was very excited about. Still going strong- but I haven't actually made any tea yet! Follow through is not my strong suit! Glad you are enjoying yours!
Nice job! I love window boxes...makes such a cheerful statement. Another fun vine is, Trailing Nasturtium. They have edible flowers and trail right down to the ground, by the end of summer.
Welcome! I always say, I wouldn't plant a garden without a fence! I let my chickens in, after harvest- and lock them out again in the spring. Make sure whatever fencing you use, doesn't have a top rail. They will jump right up and roost on the rail and then jump into the garden...
Welcome! Welcome! Now you have given me visions of planting popsicle sticks and harvesting posicles! House plants can be downright fussy...How about trying an easy spider plant to start with. Pretty sure you can't kill them, even if you try!
