That's a purdy cool weeder, too, Alice and will get most of them... But it won't get burdock which has a major tap root which is up to 10 inches long... But I might get one of grandpa's for other weeds...

As for beets, this was not a good year for them... I planted at least 30 and we may get a dozen... That is flat out bad... But we got a bumper crop of spionich which we have now harvested and in vacuum paked bags in the freezer...

Our cucumber plant is now pumpin' them out at a reat of 3 per day, as is the yellow squash...

The P-Vine is so in love with the deer fence that we put up that she is going to make (have) me put up another 750 feet around our pond field... That will be good because of the light and all we will be able to plant that field in azaleas... We now have over a thousand of them in heeling beds, pts, etc... It would be worth it to just get them in one place where they are happy and the deer can't get to them...
