Time to get the garden in hand. When the weeds are out of control, I recommend using a weed whacker. 😜
Much better.
Because of the weeds, I haven't planted anything yet. I really want to get them under control via cardboard and mulch before I plant. However, my garden is full of volunteer plants (plants I didn't plant but are growing anyway).
My oregano is flourishing. I did plant that last year, and it overwintered very well. You can see the onion that accidentally overwintered in the background (top right).
A bunch of teeny cilantro are growing. I haven't planted any this year, so they must be from seeds dropped last year.
There's some dill popping up too. No calendula as far as I've seen, which is disappointing because I heard they are self seeding and come back easily.
The mulch path I put down a while ago is growing pumpkin seeds all over the place. There's probably 20 seedlings popped up. I hate to pull out nice plants, but we don't need 20 mystery pumpkins. 😂
I'll keep a few of the better looking ones.
I forgot the straw got put on top of the big mound of decomposed pumpkins. The chickens enjoy scratching through the pile, so I should've known that seeds would've been mixed in with the straw.
Oats or wheat? I think wheat. Must be from the mulch put on in the fall.
I actually dug them up and transplanted them in the pasture in the hopes it will be another food source for the goats or birds.
Along the fence line so the goats can't eat all of it...
