Weeding

     Today was a weeding day.  Illijana and I got to spend time out in the garden weeding together...this is one of our favorite activities, working together in the garden.  We weeded a large perennial bed out back of our house, and took the weeds over to our perennial compost pile - the one pile we don't turn or do anything with.  Every few years we pull compost from its lower reaches and spread it on the garden beds.
     The other event of the day was the discovery of rabbit damage in the garden.  There has been a large rabbit hereabouts for several weeks, and I think that the damage done to brassica plants is due to this rabbit.  Time to get out our Scarecrow water sprayer to ward him/her off.
     Here is a photo of a portion of the weeded bed, and a photo of the compost pile with the new weeds on top.  Click each to enlarge.
