Not scruffy at all. Very nice. Mine is all weeds. They especially enjoy growing through the landscape fabric, snort. My joints won't let me pull them so the vegetables will have to fight to survive.

We're having a mess of KY Wonder beans from the garden for dinner tonight. We had Florida Long Leaf mustard the other night. I'd never tried it before but bought some seed thinking it would be easier to clean than the curly leaf varieties. It has a milder taste than the curly which is nice change but it's off my list since it is already bolting.

Seriously need to get the garlic pulled. The jalapenos should be ready any day.

The feral cat had kittens Tuesday night in the box that was fixed for winter which she never used. Seems to be about half a dozen but she won't let me get a good look.

I've had luck with the landscape fabric covered by chipped wood mulch. Very few weeds, and very easy to pull. Bermuda grass (and grassburrs) used to cover that area, and bermuda is almost impossible to get rid of.

My clear plastic solar cooking method, followed by heavy mulching has made that task much easier.

I almost never have weeds to pull. I plant everything kinda close (think sq. foot gardening close), and the plants don’t give the weeds a chance.
