other weeds to watch out for: elm seed sprouts, grass, willow-leaf cottonwood shoots in the back left corner, those ones that are furry and have tiny thorns on the stems (wear gloves to pull!)
We need to fix the soaker hoses somehow!
If anyone helps Lora with watering, please remember to leave the round red handle on the spigot alone and only turn the valve for the specific hose parallel with the line to turn it on, and across the line to turn it off.
Another note on last year's tomatoes, in addition to an imperfect spot in the plot with tree roots and shade, the varying temperatures, cool spells and not hot enough, probably caused some overwatering.
A note on the garlic: there is no way we can stop watering that plot. Drying of the garlic in the ground, according to Amanda, is just to make the garlic last longer. It is not required.
there is lots of stuff growing, but if we concentrate on that one particular vining weed with the slightly oblong leaf, we will have plenty to do. this is the most invasive, insidious weed and we can leave things we are not sure about and see if they have any value for the garden later; most won't take over, but the vine one will!
