More Sprouts!! (some good, some...not so good)

Bermuda Grass---not good

Corn!---Good!!!!

I went out and looked over the garden today.  It's kind of fun to leave for a few days and then get to see how things change when you come back.  There are corn sprouts already!  I am pleasantly surprised by that.  Really didn't expect to see any corn for another week of so.  But, these nice warm days have really warmed the soil and jump started our seeds!
But... The warm weather and moisture has also jump started the bermuda grass.  There is a lot of grass coming up.  Of course we have been expecting this, and the mutual consensus has been that we need to get ahead of it ASAP.  The grass doesn't have much of a root system right now, which makes it especially easy to pull out of the ground.  But, if we wait more than a few days to start pulling, it will send out roots and make our work a lot harder.  So, this Saturday we need to have a major weeding party.  Please bring your kids and shovels and whatever other tools you may have for pulling up bermuda grass.   I have talked before about what kind of work it will be during this first year of establishing a garden.  This is one of those times when we will get to find out.  Of course, with the numbers of people that are coming out to help, the work will go a lot faster and be far less of a burden on everyone.  So please spread the word, bring your buckets and tools, and get ready to pull some grass! 

Also, those of you who have said that you are able to come out on the weekdays, but not on Saturdays, please feel free to come out and work.  There is plenty of grass to get rid of right now.  Just pick a row and start working your way down it.
