Greetings Gardeners!

Today, I am excited to share some of the chores that I am doing in my garden in preparation for the coming summer. Since most of my garden is dominated by wild grass and water spinach I started to get rid of the wild grass on my garden manually.

I know that there are available herbicides in the market but I think I still don't need them right now since I am not in a hurry in getting rid of the weeds or wild grass in my vegetable garden.

Removing the wild grass or weeds on my garden has been days in the making. It has been planned to say the least. But I was not able to do so the past couple of days.

Now that I am able to do so, I am also excited to share the development in removing the weed or wild grass in my garden.

The Tools that I am going to use in removing weeds or wild grass on my garden

Sickle

Long armed bolo

Pick Axe

Rake (already damaged/cut in half)

The weeds or wild grass that I am going to remove

In the photo below can be seen the weeds and the wild grass that I am starting to remove from my garden.

At first, I thought this was an easy chore, but as minutes are passing by I noticed that it is hard to remove the weeds and wild grass even if they are still young.

On this photo can be seen the weeds and the wild grass that I am going remove from my garden

Another view of the weeds and wild grass that I am going to remove

After about thirty minutes of removing the weeds and wild grass from my garden, I was only able to remove a little portion of the weeds and wild grass from my garden.

Here's a look at the portion of my garden after I removed some of the weeds and wild grass

This little mountain of wild grass that I removed from my garden is about 2 feet in height, that is a huge amount of wild grass in such a small portion of my garden

Update on my Tomato crops

A few days ago, I also planned to remove some of the wild grass on the perimeter of my tomato crops. And now is that day.

I also took some photos of the startup flowers of my tomato crops (which makes me very happy and excited about its fruits).
