I done did it!

 My first 'focused task' - edging the hot gardens - from start to finish.  

 

 

Digging the grasses and weeds out of the edges was a nightmare, but even worse was trying to dig out all of the Jerusalem Artichokes.  They have quadrupled over the last year!  This is the pile of tubers I was able to dig out, now I don't know what to do with them.

Anybody want some free plants that are pretty much the herpes of gardening?  Once you have them, you never get rid of them.
