Community Garden - Reads and Weeds
I love my plot in our community garden!
Everything is doing well. The kale and swiss chard have taken hold and are loving the weather. The tomatoes are flowering. And my squash is spreading. Along with all that growth came a new batch of weeds. Since this garden was left untended last year it needs a little extra loving this season.
Weeds compete with your plants for nutrients and water. I've been hand-pulling pretty regularly to keep it clean. I will need to get back on it soon since we've had a rainy week.
In between the rain and the weeding there's always reading! Here are some of my favorite garden reads for kids.
Sharon Lovejoy's classic!
