This was from when the Swiss chard was planted.

 Weeds were starting to become a problem, but still manageable.

 They all were pretty well situated when we finished planting them.  We were careful not to water them with the hose pointed down because sometimes this can push the leaves into the dirt.

 Last week the weeds really started to become a problem. 

 

 As you can see they are starting to out compete the crops.

This Monday when we came out to the field it appeared that one of our rows near the road may have been sprayed with herbicide.  Hopefully our plants will be able to withstand the attack but we will see.
