With all the rain last year, even extending into August and now with the rains since December there is a lot of natural ground cover growing, When it gets out of hand, we call it weedy. It might still serve the purpose of protecting the ground from erosion, but it can become an impenetrable mess and if allowed to go into summer, a major fire hazard. In the case of some young orchard, the malva and mustard is bigger than the trees themselves. Getting control of them before they get woody and go to seed is easier earlier than later. So it's time to do something about them if you haven't done so already.
A common practice on flat ground is to mow the middles and then weed whack/whip the tree row up to and around the tree...
