Weeding

Wow - 2 weeks hiatus and the weeds are exploding in the community garden.  Sooooo, it will take a huge amount of manual labor to weed if I don't put down some static weed control.   (Before & after images below...about 1 hour of work and didn't finish it all.)  Thus I am ordering more pro weed mat.   Now I see the wisdom of putting that stuff down basically all over.  But it's a lot of mat to order, since the good stuff is about $27 per 3x50 feet.  That's enough to block 2x25' rows.  6 total rows to worry about in the 25' square.

The basil plants that I started from seed are barely growing; slightly bigger in the home garden.   A few carrots have emerged in the comm garden but will take care to separate from fast growing weeds.

The good news is that most of the tomatoes are doing OK and growing... The first flowers are emerging.
