weed weed what to do?

12 years ago

Hi everyone.

I canÃ¯Â¿Â½t take it anymore. The weeds in my vegetable garden grow so fast I canÃ¯Â¿Â½t keep up. Every 10 days or so they get so big and abundant that I canÃ¯Â¿Â½t even see my strawberries, peanuts and potatoes any more. I donÃ¯Â¿Â½t have the energy or time to spend 4 to 5 hours every weekend doing nothing but crawling on my hands and knees pulling weeds.

Can anyone offer me some last ditch advice?

Thanks,

Are those planting beds well mulched?
