The weeds have worn me out, pretty near beaten me in past years. This year I have a new tactic... trying to pull weeds for a good 15 minutes a day, at least. Sparky does no chores, but he does sit near while I pull. So far, so good.
We tried planting some leftover seeds from last year and had no luck with some of the year-old basil and green peppers. So I've started with fresh seeds for those. The best growers so far are the radishes and the Italian bush beans - sprouting so well, we're thinking of putting them in the ground this weekend. Compared to other tiny-seed vegetables, it's pretty satisfying to start beans from seed - one or two beans per hole/pot, and soon the little green plant rises up, pushing that seed bean upward as it grows.
