Amen to the weeding.
I actually find it a nice, meditative way to spend time in the garden.
I park my *large* post menopausal self on right the ground, sit, and enjoy!
I hear the birds, see the butterflies and get aquainted with the earthworms.
I don't get why so many people see it as a crummy chore.
EXCEPT that they probably put it off until the weeds are big, hard to pull and ARE a chore!
