Talking with a Friend-Weeding etc

My wife and I had a friend over for dinner yesterday and the topic of gardens came up. We agreed it is exciting to contemplate the upcoming planting season and all it represents. My wife stated that "we" always start off our gardening season with gusto but our enthusiasm starts to drop off as the season progresses and the weeds start to take hold?? It will be interesting to see if we approach the season with awareness around our tendencies outcomes will be different?
