Weeds!

I literally can’t stand their sight! They take all the light and nutrients from my so-cherished plants. Sometimes I think that if we could eat weeds, they wouldn’t grow so fast anymore 😀 just to make us go crazy!
I dug all spring just to see…more weeds! And the past few days have been rainy as hell! Guess who grew up wonderfully? The weeds, of course! Not the tomatoes, not the corn, onions or the green bells! No, the weeds! And the earth is still too moist to start taking them out manually. I am literally furious. They irritate my eyes and I can’t even see my seedling anymore in the forest of weeds!
It has been sunny the last two days, the soil has dried a little so I can enter the garden. The weeds!!! They are gigantic. It will be a painstakingly job, but I have to do it, today they die!
I start pulling them out, one by one, by hand. I don’t hear or see anything around me anymore. I feel awkwardly at peace, like in a meditation state. It takes me a few minutes to realize that they come out very easily, because the soil is still moist enough no to break them. So they come out with the entire roots. And if catch them in the right way I can take more out with one move. Because they are bigger I can deal with them easier… I never thought about that!
So sometimes…you have to let the weeds grow big enough on order to weed them 😀
