Weeds & Bugs

From the Garden Maven:

Keep the weeds and bugs out of your garden, by pulling and picking them off by hand. Good gloves help in this activity. the task is easier if the days are cool in the spring than if you wait until the hot days of summer when the weeds have a strong root base and have zapped strength from your garden. Encourage swallows and bats to join your garden and they can keep down the bugs and flying insects. Lady bugs are beneficial as they eat aphids, which often gather in colonies on vegetables like broccoli and brussels sprouts and flowers like roses and pansies.

I hate pulling weeds but we've got them and they are huge! Guess what we'll be doing this week?
