Getting the garden ready

I wish that I had taken a before picture
by the time I did most of the garden was weeded
just know it was covered in grass, morning glory and thistle
Owen and Reagan loved 'helping' me
I showed them how to pull the weed by the root
but they preferred the 'chop' method






After we got it all weeded
I used our mini tiller to till all the ground under
then I covered the entire garden with black plastic
with hope of suffocating the weeds
