Good advice

I see too many people wasting water  ??? ???

Yes quite right Tim, I have been watering in the mornings when it is cool and teh plants seem to appreciate it. I too have noticed that by really soaking just the area where the edible plants are, they seem to benefit but not the weeds. I have really gotten more on top of the weeds this year by planting later, hoeing regularly and watering the plants more carfeully! Yippee, a small victory at least!

Oh, yes - keep the hoe going. So much less effort.

That's a lot of counting Tim! But a good point, and no doubt topical with the weather we're having at the moment.

That's the thing....gardeners count things, it's automatic, the people who 'helped themselves' to all  my manure pile laughed at me when I said I'd counted the number of barrowloads I'd put on it.
