Preparing to move plantlets out to the main garden. Boy am I stiff from digging and weeding. And the strawberries are overwhelmed with weeds again too. Grr.

Probably sunburned too, though won't be sure until tomorrow on that one.

My housemate got sunburned yesterday as well, while doing some weeding. :(

Heh. Sorry to hear that. He should wear clothes when outdoors. Just kidding, but since he just told me he'd rather not bother with clothing I could resist.

I feel your pain on weeding. I did the weeding around the onions and carrots this weekend, and this morning I feel like I can barely move.

It's the digging that gets me. I was turning over soil in areas not yet planted this year. Actually, it's not as bad this morning as I'd feared. Mostly my feet are sore.

That reminds me of a joke.

At least an amusing anecdote.

One time, while watching a football game in
a bar the announcer noted an older player
was still good just, "older, slower, and stiffer"
and some wag at the bar said;

"Thats why my wife loves me more now! I'm older,
slower, and stiffer!"

Guffaws and raised beers.

*groans and threatens you with "the crook"*

I do have one of those, but the sheep can tell you I'm no good at using it.

Actually some of the weeds are good for making dye that can be used on wool. But in general, I agree. There are too many weeds, especially the ones that aren't even native to North America and shouldn't be here at all.

While you're out there, would you watch for the Brit neighbors' latest cat and keep her from digging in the seedbeds? Shes white with black spots and very stupid.
