We finally figured out how to grow things after a couple of disappointing seasons. Turns out plants like water…

We pulled this out today and have been pulling similar amounts out about every two days for the last couple of months.  Also been pulling out tons of okra, green beans, snow peas, turnips, radishes, and carrots. Probably something else in there I forgot about.
