"National Weed Your Garden Day on June 13th each year serves as a reminder to all gardeners to take an extra 5 or 10 minutes while weeding their gardens. One of the best gardening tips is to stay in control of your garden. Unfortunately, weeds grow fast, very fast. With inattention, they can soon become overwhelming. Giving daily attention to your garden makes it easier to maintain. Weeding 5 or 10 minutes each day will make the job seem bearable. It might even be enjoyable. This way you will be in control, and the weeds will not! Excessive and unwanted weeds will crowd out plant roots and steal the nutrients that are needed for the plants to grow nice and be healthy. Helpful tips on reducing weeds in your garden: Cover the soil along rows and between plants with mulch. Make sure to keep all weeds away from young plants. Plant your plants closely together to leave less room for weed growth. Have soil weed-free before planting. Make sure you do not let any of the weeds go to seed. Keep the edges of your yard mowed short to lessen the invasion of weeds onto your property and into your garden."
My notes: Unless it's raining, I weed daily to keep it up. I never had success with mulch nor that black landscaping fabric. It did cut down on the weeds, but the ones that popped thru, was hard to pull them out.

Weeding is a must. Not always the most fun but gotta be done.
Those little plants won't make it if they're choked out by the weeds.

"Each year on June 13th, National Sewing Machine Day honors an invention that has kept us in stitches for over 150 years. Before the sewing machine, tailors and sewists created clothing by hand, stitch by a single stitch. The invention of the sewing machine brought about revolutionary change. Not only did it boost an entire industry, but it also changed the way we viewed the garments we wore. However, the development of the sewing machine took time." My notes: I am not good at sewing either by hand or a machine. I have a thread I created awhile back Do you know how to sew?

My sister in law is a whiz with a sewing machine. I can sew on a button and do the odd mending.

"Every year on June 13th, World Softball Day celebrates this fun team sport. The day also aims to inspire future generations of girls and boys to become empowered through sport. George Hancock, a reporter for the Chicago Board of Trade invented softball in 1887. Softball was initially created as an indoor sport. In fact, softball was sometimes called indoor baseball. It was also called mushball or kittenball."
My notes: I played "Catch" when I was younger & enjoyed it although I never signed up for a league. Do you like or even play softball?
