I spent an hour and a half pulling weeds in the garden (I've been too busy recently and was out of town for 5 days). I decided it was time to take a break and eat lunch. I opened my sliding glass door, stepped through the door, turned to close the door, and it started raining. I'd call that good timing.
I don't think it rained hard, so I'm hoping I can go out and work a bit more this afternoon.

Damp soil makes weeding easier! Been doing quite a bit of that myself today. 🌱
Thoughts on weed barrier fabric vs weeding once in awhile?
It's easy to end up with fabric that blocks too much water. We've done both and opted for weeding overall. But our garden isn't huge (maybe 10x20').
I tend to use weed barrier with perennials because I put it in and ignore it for a long time. I tend to not use weed barrier in annual beds because there is constant change so the weed barrier seems like it is in the way as much as it helps, but maybe that is just me.
It ended up pouring right when I was about to head out. It doesn't make sense to go out and work in the mud, so the rest will have to wait for tomorrow afternoon.
