Weeding and Sea-weeding by hilloah

I love to weed in the garden, I love to iron, I love to peel apples: all jobs that most people regard as boring.

I also found some Naked Lady bulbs by weeding, what a joy!

Terry Nieves is fun to walk with and very knowledgeable about the ocean and its edible harvest.
