More Gardening

Ah, a beautiful sunny day in the Inland Northwest. My garden's are looking beautiful and I spent a few hours outside today weeding. Why is it that the weeds seem to grow faster than my plants? I mean its just not fair! Some days it seems I am weeding more than gleaning from my garden!! I know in the end I will reap the rewards, and be canning and freezing and drying but right now it seems like an endless battle. So I have 5 rows of beans, 37 tomato plants, 3 tires stacked 3 high full of potatoes, 3 rows of cucumbers, 3 rows of squash, a row of pumpkins, 5 rows of peas, 2 rows of broccoli (plus 3 volunteer plants), more rhubarb than I will even know what to do with, raspberries, blackberries, 3 plum trees, 2 apple trees, more horseradish than I can find homes for, and a few other miscellaneous volunteer plants along with a row of peppers. Canning anyone?
