On Saturday my dad and my step-mom came over to help me weed the vegetable garden. The weeds were getting out of control and the job was getting to be way too much of me and my belly to get done ourselves. I’ve finally learned one of the rules of pregnancy: It’s okay to ask for help! This applies in the garden as much as anywhere else. It took the three of us about two hours to get it done.
I wanted to show you the vegetable garden while it’s relatively weed-free. It won’t stay like this for long, I’m sure. (Click on photo to view large-sized image.)

Congratulations on a job well done–it doesn’t matter who did it! At the end of today, I will be proud to show my strawberry patch.

Congratulations on the weedifreeness. But, even with a few weeds, it looks just as a garden should — good things growing.

Looks great! Now apply 2-3 inches of mulch to deter the weeds form coming back. Weeds are nature’s way of keeping the ground from being naked!

Your garden is beautiful! And yes, you can ask for help… when are you expecting this future gardener?

The future gardener is due to arrive November 20! So I think I'll have to ask for some more help getting the garden "closed down" for the winter.
