Rain, Rain, Go Away

Since we don't have a direct line of water, I usually love when it rains. However, the easy way is clearly not always the best. Rain helps our crops to grow, but it also helps the weeds. After about three days of rain, I went outside to find a jungle of weeds intermingling with our plants. Luckily, the ground is moist enough that weeding isn't too terrible of a chore. Still, it takes a while to clear out the intruders. I'm thinking a mulch run may be in order.

Jungle of weeds that pop up after every rain.

There they are!
