Fugly Farm

My plot is still covered in weeds. It hasn't been the weather for doing much bar the essentials. I do pull the nettles and a couple of other weeds that grow easily and fast here. It doesn't take them long to put down a far reaching root system that's lots more work if you leave the weeds to grow until dig over and planting time.
The work we did last year on the fruit trees which had been badly neglected for a few years looks like it was worthwhile from the spring growth I've seen so far.

Yeah, weeds can become a bigger job if left too long. We have garden boxes and we have landscape fabric on the ground. Still get weeds around the edges, but it sure minimizes the work.
