Things I should have learned by now....

It's been years and years since I started this gardening thing.....you would think some basic lessons would have sunk in...

• If there isn't enough space to walk between planting beds while planting, it won't get any better for weeding. (The onion bed is 15-foot square this year...Gak!)


• Don't let radishes go to seed.


• Don't let volunteer radishes go to seed, again.


• If you cut off a taproot weed at the soil surface, it's going to grow back.


• Check the forecast for late spring frosts prior to spending hours planting annual flowers.


• There will be critters in the compost pile, expect it. ( a little vole was in there today)
