With all the gardens I have, I have enough work with just the weeding. I need at least 3 hours a week to weed. I don’t really like to weed, but the gardens look so much better after it’s done. Totally worth the work!
Do you like weeding? How much weeding do you have to do in your garden?

Wow, I just moved into a new house and the yard is begging for some gardens. Your garden is beautiful and there is so much that goes into gardening than I expected! Maybe I will start small. 🙂
Your garden is beautiful! I’m inspired to go out and do some weeding and trimming! BTW, why do you spray liquid algae on the fruit trees? We moved to a new house last Fall, and now have a peach tree (which we haven’t had before). I didn’t know we needed to spray anything on it…..
Thanks Jessica and Anna. I do suggest you start small Jessica, I started pretty big and even if I love gardening, I often have way to much to do then the time I have to do it!!! Anna, Liquid Algea is used as a pesticide. It’s used mostly on apple trees to prevent apple scab.
