Weeds

There can be no truce between the creeping green. Thistles, nettles, and spiny cacti are the foe here, as equally menacing as the omnipresent heat, lack of water, and the hungry jackrabbit.

Give in for a moment and you will go hungry or be forced into labor for another man to buy your beans. Nature is relentless in reclaiming the turf you carved out for your garden and the slothful hand goes hungry.

You aren't kidding. I fill a LARGE garden "bucket" (half cubic yard size) each morning and feed them to the chickens and I'm still getting behind...
