If I had put it there on purpose it would'nt be growing.

I really was just wondering if during the off season this was a benificial cover or detrimental.

I call all of that stuff "potential compost". No waste. No want. Put a big scoop of "cow-puckey" on top and it all becomes fluff for the garden.

I just came in with a handful of weeds to examine. In just one grab I got them all: Henbit, Purple Dead Nettle, and Chickweed. Can we just stop naming new weeds ?!?

Deadnettle: it sounds like the name of one of those rock and roll garage
bands with experimental haircuts.
