Hot-burning burmuda and dragonflies

The Tigurs committee has decided that the best option to destroy the weeds that are creeping into the gareden paths is to burn the Burmuda grass with a blow torch. We were skeptical at first that this would not be an efficient method, but it turns out that burning, though back bending and a little toasty, is the quickest way to kill the weeds. The job went much faster today (thanks to some great training), but it's going to have to be a weekly job.
New Summer squash and Spaghetti squash seeds have been planted to replace the squash plants that soon will no longer be harvestable. They should be popping up within the next couple of days, so look for the little seedlings as well as all of the dragonflies that are swarming throughout the garden.
