I can’t remember a year when the weeds in my garden grew so fast. But then, my cucumbers are growing equally fast, as are the tomatoes, so I guess this is a good thing. One thing about cucumbers is that they tend to hide under their broad leaves, and you have to search carefully for those ripe to pick. If you overlook one or two, you wind up with something resembling a long watermelon.
While we were on active duty in the Army, living in government quarters, I never planted much of anything, and really didn’t concern myself that much with yard chores either. I figured what the heck, we’ll be moving in a couple of years so why worry about it. And, move according to that schedule we did—15 moves in almost 30 years of being on active duty. Some were shorter than others while some were longer, but it all averaged out to that number. I’m sure it’s not much different today for those serving.
