The Monthly Weeding Challenge - May 2018

​People often comment on my beautiful garden beds, and then proceed to tell me I must spend hours weeding. I don't! I have a monthly weeding challenge that goes like this:

1st - pull 1 weed
2nd - pull 2 weeds
3rd - pull 3 weeds
4th - pull 4 weeds
5th - pull 5 weeds
6th - pull 6 weeds
7th - pull 7 weeds
And so on. The day of the month determines how many weeds get pulled that day. Most days there are only a few to pull anyway, so it's a five minute at most job. Then, if I can't get into the garden to do anything else, at least the flower beds and paths are weed free.
