I picked up a Garden Weasel this weekend and am very pleased with it. I highly recommend it, though, I would say spend the extra $10 and get the heavy duty one. I was able to weed my garden quickly and prep a fairly deep row for carrots with it. Handy little tool.
I might have to hope for one of those.
Normally I use a stirrup-hoe, but the garden here was grass not so long ago, and it's proving to be a lot of work to keep weeded.
And I've barely got much planted. What's everyone else got?
I have tomatoes, habaneros, shallots, rosemary, sweet basil, thai basil, mint, lavender, strawberries, and I know a couple more herbs I'm forgetting.
I want to put in some watermelons, cantaloupe, pumpkins, maybe corn, bell peppers, more tomatoes, blueberries, and I'm wondering what kinds of beans grow here. I wish I'd gotten in potatoes, garlic and onions, wondering if it's too late. Potatoes have gotten expensive.
Some fruit trees will grow here, so I'm thinking of them too. Mostly citrus. Not sure it's worth it though, worrying about freezes and keeping them small enough to be able to harvest. I miss my peach trees. (Probably not cold long enough here.)
Speaking of which, is it everywhere that grocery stores are getting a bit sparse? Not like there's no food - there's plenty. But Wal-Mart's produce section was half empty yesterday, and for the last two times I've gone grocery shopping, they were completely out of a number of things on my list (in any brand), and it's really odd that Wal-mart is ever completely out of anything. Maybe it's just our Wal-Mart. I live kind of country-ish.
