This is what our vegetable garden used to look like:

It took us two weekends, but we got this and the rest of our flower beds cleared of weeds finally.

Now we have to decide whether we're even going to bother planting any vegetables this year. It's already mid-June, which is very late for planting. And, if we do plant now, we might be going out of town again right when everything would be ready to harvest. Decisions. Decisions.
