Out into the garden to transplant some veggies and start the next successive planting of seed; then I noticed the weeds. I set down my transplants (which remain in the same place I set them down yesterday) and started in weeding the green beans. Well, from the green beans, over to the cucumbers, then the swiss chard, and then, and then, and then... Finally I came to where the eggplant should have been. It couldn't be, not again. I couldn't see one seedling. The weeds weren't even that bad, what could I have done???
As I began tearing at the weeds, I noticed a weed which had arranged itself neatly into rows. I thought to myself, that pesky weed, it devoured my eggplant and... No I wasn't intoxicated, but perhaps the sun had fried a couple of extra brain cells. It turns out that eggplant seedlings look A LOT like the swamp weed that grows in my garden. Those poor seedlings never had a chance two years ago.
