Pigweed piled high
A vast repository of uprooted pigweed is collecting by the wagon load in the southwest corner of the field. It’s crazy the amount of effort that’s been put into pigweed pulling this year, that in addition to hoeing and tilling in younger specimens. The pigweed pile has already achieved almost surreal dimensions and a fascination all its own. I stop and gaze at it on the way by… What can I say? PIGWEED!!!!! Guest photo by Mami.

Really enjoy reading about the tiny farm. Keeping up with your pigweed exploits, I’ve been thinking that you may want to consider keeping rabbits or livestock that really likes pigweed. I assume your pigweed is the amaranth variety in which case bunnies like it and it is high protein. Just thought … and great manure!
Keep up the great work!
