For the summer solstice, some advice from "The Lazy Woman's Guide to Gardening" by slfisher:

5. Redefine your idea of 'weed.' If you can eat it, it's not a weed, it's a vegetable. If I could get into the whole eating dandelions thing, I could save a hell of a lot of time.

[...]

10. For God's sake, don't get green-handled garden tools, gloves, etc. I spend half my time in the garden trying to find the damn things. Wait til May and get pink ones, even if you're a guy. Better still, wait til August when they're on sale. Ponder the notion of pink garden hose while you're at it.

[A few of my friends will be able to make use of tip #13. I'm sticking entirely to the advice in tip #14 myself. And anniemal has taught me the value of tip #5, above; some of those weeds that I used to not know the names of are rather tasty. -- DGA]
