From July 9, 2023
I finally was able to treat the Canada Thistle everywhere I could. It was really invading the newly started garden. 
I also sprayed weed killer in the cracks of the patio and driveway and sidewalk in the front. I did run out of the weed killer, 1.33 gallons. It covers something like 400 sq ft. Lots of cracks between brick pavers and patio blocks. 
Today I have to finish the Canada Thistle that I missed in the back and the ones in front that I couldn't get to, as well as general weeds in the pathway. I have to spray the entire surface of the pathway, so I might just get a hose end spray weed and grass killer. The vegetable garden is a complete weed garden, so I haven't planted veggies. The darn Canada Thistle war is taking up my precious time. 
I don't want to spray weed killer in the veggie garden, so there's going to be a lot of digging. The Canada Thistle will be the biggest challenge to get out all of those deep root runners. 
It felt good to have gotten so much of that work done. The world feels a bit lighter on my shoulders today.
