weeding vs, mulch planting

So as you can see in the photo i fixed up my little herb bed for the winter. put in a bunch of kale and parlsey plants. harvested the carrits and lettuce. And cut all the duck food for the ducks.
so technicly i didnt 'weed' i just chopped for the bird food.
but now i am questioning such drastic mesures.

[will add photo later, comp is acting ip :)]


i suppose i am still in the transition of visual esthetics as well as trying to figure out how to harvest in the beautiful caos of a wild garden. i wish i had taken the extra time to cut around the lettuce instead of harvesting it wall because it would have created more cover for the dirt for water, heat and pest sake.
Because now after learning what i have learnt this astheticlly beautiful garden bed looks dead to me.
BUT i did sow winter onions and kale and pocchoy and vech and winter pea, and i know they will come out in a day or two.
i also planted 2 of my new comfrey babies in there to mix it up a bit.
i just hope its enough.
and i would have just done a chop and drop but the birds need the food.
hmmm. confusing,


 Keep dreaming! the more you dream the more reality has to offer you!
