Punkin' Patch -OR- Weed Patch?

Last summer a guy rented our little 2 acre piece of land to plant pumpkins in. Well, he planted the pumpkins, then never returned. We watered a small part of the field so that we could at least have some pumpkins for Halloween. The poor plants became surrounded by puncture weeds and Dad (Popi) felt so bad for those plants that he came up a couple of times to weed the patch. All the kids wanted to help - sort of - and this is what happened.

Doing good so far - look at all those puncture weeds!
The kids are still helping, this is about the 4th wheelbarrow full.
After they filled up the wheelbarrow, they would haul them to a huge pile for us to burn later.
Yes, my boys are without shorts most of the summer. Kayden is doing his part.

The kids are getting restless, but still trying to help Popi. They all helped Popi wheel the 50th load or so, over to the pile, and then........

Popi wheeled them back!
