Successful morning of weeding

Joanne and I got to the garden at about 8:30 and worked for almost 5 hours! It was hot at the end, but we got a lot done.

We finished weeding everything; most by hand but some by hoe. We finished making the tomato cages.

Jo raked the weeds up and took them away (the Garden Club has a place for this sort of refuse).

Then I tilled. I was able to go between all the rows, and I cleaned up the area for the pumpkins. it already looked great. Then I put on the furrower and furrowed between all the rows! Some of the little plants got buried, but I think I caught all of them and un-buried them.

We had two remaining bags of shredded leaves, and we placed them under the pumpkin plant and around the peppers.

Joanne watered everything while I put in the last of the tomato stakes.
