Last week, I struggled to weed in ground gone dry and hard.  In some spots, I had to rake the surface with the back end of the trake to loosen it enough to pull weeds loose.  I probably should have just watered the beds first, but it seemed crazy to be watering in April!

A couple of inches of rain later, it's prime weeding weather.   This is what the trake and I looked like after we pulled a wheelbarrow and a half of weeds out of the garden.  Too bad the rain also makes the weeds grow twice as fast as I can pull them!
