The garden

Today, I weeded the roughly 25 x 30 foot garden at Noelle's.  My mom was the champion for it, but I seem to have been stuck with most of the most work, which I limit to one hour per week on average.  Noelle helped in the late winter by adding partly decomposed horse manure to the area.  The garden contains broccoli, beans, (snap and snow) peas, eggplant, corn, pumpkins, zucchini, cucumbers, pattipan squash, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, catnip, cauliflower, sunflowers, leeks, onions, garlic, bell peppers, hot peppers, and carrots.  To keep the weeds down and prepare the soil, I rototilled a couple times.  After rototilling I tried using some fancy cloth groundcover to limit the weeds, but it was partially transparent and porous, so the weeds still rapidly grew beneath it.  To keep out Noelle's dog, Elle and wild animals, such as rabbits, a two-foot wire mesh fence rings the garden.
