I noticed my neighbor was working on his vegetable garden the other day. It was the first day of good sunlight, so he was roto-tilling his garden (spelling?). His garden is a somewhat advanced setup with automatic timers and PVC watering system. Pretty good for a 70 year old farmer. The man's been growing his entire life. I decided that I would benefit from going over to talk to him about...whatever. No plan in mind.
We're BSing, talking about when's a good time to plant what, and what he's growing, versus what I should be growing. He offered me this simple, but somewhat profound piece of advice:
"When the weeds first start to come, prepare your garden. When they really start coming, go ahead and plant your vegetables. The weeds are a good way to tell when the weather is good..."
I know for sure, that I'll be using this method for both my vegetable garden, and my garden of weeds
I'm going to start some seeds this week in dinner plates, "clam" style with wet papeer towls. After some vegging under CFLs, I'll transplant them to my garden!
