Garden Weeds

Farm Girl Garden Tools I'm pretty basic when it comes to weeding the garden. I have this short handled hand-hoe that was my mother-in-laws that works wonders to dig up tough weeds. My knee pad and gloves complete the ensemble of farm girl tools. After tilling the rows, I spend a lot of time on my knees with my little hand-hoe getting out those stubborn weeds in between the plants. While I'm on my knees, I might as well say a prayer or two for friends and family!    Gardening is my number one favorite thing to do. I love the solitude of early morning work outside. Now, when I was a kid, gardening was torture!   Those looong rows of green beans that my mom grew were never ending!!!! But I guess with age comes appreciation for digging in the dirt!    Finally taking a break in the shade!    Enjoying the beauty!   My Garden © Marie Church As I look out to my garden
