Thats an interesting idea, I'll have to keep that in mind for next year. I doubt that I have that much cardboard, though. Then again, I'm also not sure how much bigger I want to make the garden.

Meanwhile, I am almost done hoeing and raking the grass out of the new section of the garden. (about 30' X 30') I've weeded all of the rows and all of the squash mounds except for the row of fennel. Looking very closely, I think I can tell which ones are the fennel. If I'm right, they do seem to be grass-like.

This weekend, I'm going to sit down and pluck out all the known weeds and see what's left.
