Its a great day to pull weeds

We had a good rainstorm last evening.  That means that today became "weeding day."  When the ground is wet, those weeds just pop right out of the ground.  I've learned to do all my weeding projects on the day after it rains.

Weeds have seasons too.  May is generally the season for tree seedlings.  I pull a lot of privet (a tree if it gets away from you), maple, and oaks seedlings this time of the year.   However, this season has produced an abundance of pine seedlings.  I've pulled hundreds of them!  Many of my gardening friends have reported that they've had a bumper crop too. 

Like all babies, they are cute when they are little.
