Frustration

Ok, it seems that the weeds are seriously taking over the garden (and this is after some pretty hefty weeding sessions by all on sunday and monday). df and i went to water last night and found that the kale and many of the other greens had been covered over *again* with weeds. we took some time to rescue them and some of the other plants but we only spent an hour weeding so there are still a lot of weeds out there. what can we do to make those weeds go away?? what's going on with the straw/hay?

the signs are also ready to put in but i feel like a jackass doing it b/c the garden doesn't look spectacular yet.

in better news, anyone who wants lettuce/salad greens should go and get it. i believe you can just bring scissors and cut some off and it will grow back. just don't eat the stuff that the bugs have eaten-- those are weeds! oh, and the new pepper and tomato plants and herbs seem to be doing well. and the one thai basil survivor looks like it's making a comeback!
