Max say that the best to but it into corn as it need to be culivate often
It is very plain to see the quack grass. Mrs Joe Kitchen say she wasen't able raise anything for quack grass. But are going to do the best we can with it.
The raspberries are in one row and the currant row filled out. The strawberry plant will be gone after Sunday.
