Weeding

Sometimes, like today, I like weeding.  It was a good day for it, cool, foggy, and the ground was moist enough for the weeds to pull out easily.  Even though I was "in my head" for quite awhile during the weeding, eventually the relaxed nature of the task and the day allowed me to become present and really enjoy the day.  And I got the whole bed weeded!

DeWit hand weeder
My weeder is a Dutch hand hoe which is quite similar to Japanese hand hoes I've used.  It is one of my favorite (and all purpose) tools.
Next step is to get a load of pine needle duff for mulch, mix it with dolomite limestone, test it for ph, and spread it on thick.  I think that will be happening tomorrow.
