Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

Ok, I sharpened up some of my tools. One was a square shovel that I've been needing to sharpen for a while now. I took that out to the weeds and it does a good job. It goes dull more quickly than the scraper thing I was using because it's a softer steel, but that also makes it a lot easier to sharpen. I can just touch it up with a file before I use it.

What's going on with all this weeding is that I got rid of all the tall weeds. I'm not as worried about the weeds that are low or spralling on the ground. I do need to deal with them, but it takes longer and they aren't as noticeable from the street.

The way I'm having to get rid of the low weeds is to take the square shovel, turned upside down, and scrape off the top layer of ground along with the weeds. The wider shovel cuts a wider path than the scraper thing I was using.

Also, I'm cooking chicken for lunch again... And the chicken was good. I also ate several navel oranges... and they were good too.
