Weeding fest 2, round 1 ...

After 5:00 pm R and I walked from the lab to our GHGP garden plot. We started weeding a little before 6:00 pm, and M joined us shortly after that.


GHGP plot before Friday weeding

While we were there, we saw several other people working their plots. We exchanged hellos, but otherwise mainly concentrated on the fatiguing task of weeding.

First we soaked the area, then we used our shovels to dig up weed roots. There were ragweeds, bermuda grass, crab grass, and other numerous weeds we couldn't identity.

The sun was starting its descent so I couldn't get any good pics of our plot after ou Friday weeding fest. We've probably done a little less than another 1/3 of the plot.

R and M posed with their trusty shovels. By this time, all of us were tired and dirty, despite a little less than 1.5 hours of weeding.

Piled up high were our weed heaps. It took us two trips with the wheelbarrel to toss the weeds in the area outside the GHGP set aside for tossing this garbage.

Lastly, I leave you with the leftover weeding that awaits us tomorrow. R and I both hope that we'll finish the main weeding task tomorrow.


Weeding work to look forward to tomorrow
