I've started digging over the veggie beds. My mission this year is to try (!) to keep on top of the weeds (in particular the nettles). If man could live on nettles alone, we could possibly feed the entire county with the amount that grows here! Even though they are edible and apparently delicious in soup, (which I may try out this year) nettles are not a popular food choice in our family. The nettles have to go and as they are starting to creep through the soil now, the war against them has begun! I must say, it is extremely satisfying pulling them up (especially when you don't get stung) and today the pigs were extremely satisfied too - they got the nettles as a tasty afternoon treat!
