Harvesting from an unweeded garden
While I've been busy
prepping for our move, the garden has been carrying along without me.
Weedy and overgrown, the beds are still managing to ripen up quite a
lot of vegetables, most about two-thirds the size of my usual specimens
but not bad considering the neglect.
Perhaps the experience
of harvesting from an unweeded garden will help me lower my standards
when I begin again in a new plot of earth?

I spent hours weeding the family garden as a child. When I would return home as an adult. I noticed how weedy the garden had become, yea, to the point dad just ran a push lawn mower down between the rows...I somehow began to suspect that perhaps, juuuuuuust perhaps, the weeding had more to do with keeping us out of trouble than vegetable production!
