Ugh. Weeding!

As long as I get out early enough in the year, my hoe (sorry I don't have a special name for what kind it is, I call it a garden hoe???) works well and breaks the soil up nicely. In the early spring, the soil is still moist and workable. Now, if I miss that window of opportunity, it is like breaking up concrete----and that is painful.
