Kitchen Klutzes of America Day Each June 13 honors those who would like to cook and be in the kitchen but it just doesnt seem to work well for them. After all, it is National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-kitchen-klutzes-of-america-day-june-13/National Rosé Day is celebrated annually on the second Saturday in June. Rosé is probably the oldest known type of wine, dating back as far as 600 BC. Rosé wines are generally made from red grapes and are a very versatile wine that complement many types of food. Rosé is lighter than red wine and deeper than white wine. The pink color of Rosé wine depends on the time the grape skin stays in contact with the juice, also known as maceration. There are Rosé wines that are semi-sparkling or sparkling with different intense of sweetness levels and dryness. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-rose-day-second-saturday-in-june/
National Weed Your Garden Day is celebrated annually on June 13. This day is set aside for all gardeners to take an extra 5 or 10 minutes while weeding their gardens.
One of the best gardening tips is to stay in control of your garden. Weeds grow fast, very fast and can soon become overwhelming. If you stay on top of them, it is much easier to maintain your garden. Weeding 5 or 10 minutes each day will make the job seem bearable and maybe even a little bit enjoyable and you will be in control and the weeds will not!!
Excessive and unwanted weeds will crowd out plant roots and steal the nutrients that are needed for the plants to grow nice and healthy.

Ask me how many times I've burned myself... even ended up on crutches one time after I ended up with second degree burns on my foot. I was making soup.

I too belong in the group, but haven't reached that painful of a level (and hope not too). The Microwave is my friend!!

(205,541 posts)3. I mainly stick to the microwave these days, too...
And I gave up drinking - which I liked to do while I cooked...

Now why would I want the weed out of my garden? I wish that I could grow as much weed and catnip as possible.
