I finally did it. Last night I went out and attacked some of the weeds in the garden. Adam had taken the string trimmer to the section of the garden that was growing nothing but weeds on Sunday, but hadn't gotten to any of the purposely planted areas. Last night after work, I tackled the area around the tomato and pepper plants. Now I have to admit that it wasn't my intention when I headed out to the garden to attack the weeds, but rather to save the tomato plants. You see we didn't get cages around all of them when they were planted, and now about half of them were FAR too big to hold up their own weight. Adam had tried to tie them up, but even that wasn't holding. So after a trip to Wally World and Fleet Farm I was out there armed with bamboo stakes and old tiki torches trying to support these poor plants. However, in order to figure out where the base of the tomato plants were to stake them up properly, I had to get rid of the weeds too. SO be it. Now the tomatoes are completely weeded, and I'm motivated to do the zucchini and acorn squash next. Maybe
