... And so far neither one of us has "won". I did manage to get about 1/3 of the garden area cleared of blackberry canes, so that works out to about 120 square feet ... hopefully I'll be able to get more done tomorrow.
One of the problems with ripping weeds, morning glory, and blackberry out is that you end up with a giant pile of yard garbage, so I'm thinking we may need to rent or borrow a truck to get rid of some of it, otherwise it just clutters up the yard and could actually be a fire hazard, if it gets dry enough. I'll have to talk to Maxx about getting rid of whatever we have ready next Saturday when he's off ... I can help on my lunch break to get it loaded up. It would be so nice to have a neat and tidy yard, and then to be able to work towards getting some vegetable gardening really going.
I also need to price out sand, and figure out how much we'd need to put a sand base under the pool, with a couple of feet clearance around it, to see if we'll be able to do so this year, or if it will have to wait until next. It would be nice to have the sand base to have a clearly defined "home" for the pool, and also to help keep weeds from growing up into the bottom of the pool, and providing softer footing!
We shall see.
