DIY Painted Sign Project Ideas.

Last year, it was a thing of beauty.All full and lush and green.

With actual growing veggies, not weeds I mean.The thing is, it still ended up looking pretty much like it does now by the time the season was done.We really did dedicate a lot of time to it last year, but we just couldn’t keep up.

We knew we’d have to do something different this year and maybe that’s why we’ve only planted just a few things so far.This year is a little bit of an experimenting year.. We’ve read several places that the best way (and the only way for some types) to get rid of weeds and keep them away without using crazy chemicals is to smother them with black plastic.

For several years.

At the start of last year, it seemed like a pretty drastic measure to lose the use of your garden for a few years just to avoid pulling a few weeds, but by Spring of this year, we knew that was what we had to do..The pineapple would have been perfect on top!

That is, if we hadn’t have eaten it all first…Our walks down by the creek lately have been beautiful..The wheat fields are turning a nice gold color and getting ready for harvest time..

There are all kinds of wild flowers growing along the banks of the creek, which is huge because of all the rain this year.. I’ve been in love with this one flower (weed) since last year.It has these nice thick leaves, and it seems to smell pretty amazing too from what I can tell when we walk by a whole bunch of them..
