At the end of October we did the last outside chores.
We weeded the gardens, tilled the soil, and laid weed
block. See how lumpy and bumpy the weed block is
now? Those are WEEDS growing under there!
Can you see the dandelion that has bloomed UNDER the weed block?I just had to laugh as I took these pictures today! 
Yep, I think that was a waste! 
Maybe it only works with mulch on top? Should I rip it off?

Maybe it only works with mulch on top? Should I rip it off?Or should I leave it, plant the garden and lay mulch
between the rows? Either way, I think the weeds won! ha.

LOL You laid such a nice winter blanket over those weed..they love you! ;D
ReplyDeleteJulie ~ haha..you're right! I probably made them healthier! lol....
ReplyDeleteWell, if they behaved, they wouldn't be weeds, right?
ReplyDelete“A weed is only a misplaced plant”
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy just to see something green! (-;
yeah i think the weeds got you this time...got s few digging up through our block i need to work on...get rid of them dont just go on top of them they will find a way out...
ReplyDeleteWell, we all now know you have a green thumb! LOL
ReplyDeleteChris ~ lol...you are too cute. Well, if that's the case, I want to loose a little bit of the green!
ReplyDeleteUGH! Makes ME feel bad..I can't imagine how it makes YOU feel after all that labor! I am not a garden kind of person...wish I could help, but can only moan along with you. =)
ReplyDeleteweeds...that is a swear word around here!!!LOL
ReplyDeleteWe've tried this before, and this year following an accident with a wardrobe we used the broken doors to cover the weeds! It has helped keep 80% of them at bay for now...
ReplyDeleteWeeds always find a way. Drives me batty!! Good luck!! So much for weed block!!
ReplyDeleteHa!

Oh my!! Looks like there is going to be a bit more tilling to be done. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all plants were as robust as weeds!!! If only.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Betsy with all your men .. cheers Kath :)
paintdropskeepfalling ~ doors...that's what I need! ha.
ReplyDeleteHi! Betsy...
ReplyDeleteMy papa is a gardener...and it looks as if you are going to have to use products such as Ortho, Weeds-Be-Gone or other chemicals products in order to rid yourself Of the weeds.
However, I don't think that you want to use chemicals (to rid yourself Of weeds in your yard)...Because you have children and animals.
DeeDee ;-/
Deedee ~ right...or if we're going to eat what we grow in there!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I hate those weeds!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll I grow is weeds!
ReplyDeleteWeeds. Weeding. Weed-Be-Gone. The bane of the weekend gardener. If I could garden a little every day, I could keep those crummy weeds at bay. But gardening just on Saturday, doesn't do the job. No shortcuts for a farmer or gardener.

ReplyDeleteHehehe what can I say these weeds are super hard headed hahahaha!!! Great shot!
ReplyDeletehahaha Oh I had to laugh at all of that
ReplyDeleteAs your work kinda went flat
Or all bumpy as the case may be
As the weeds grew nice and tall for free
Maybe nugget can go out and have a snack
When yanking them out don't hurt your back
I have no advice but it is truly amazing how weeds can grow in unlikely places
ReplyDeletehope you have a wonderful garden in spite of those pesky weeds.
Pat ~ I knew you'd laugh at my situation
ReplyDeletebecause that's just too much temptation
for you not to laugh at my weeds
since I posted and gave you the lead.
It was all of your greed
and you knew I'd concede
that it was just too funny
and too much food for my bunny!
I;d say that weed barrier was a rip off!!
