MAN o MAN they turned out beautiful.

Thanks. Not as nice as they could be with the high temps we've been having. Had to run drip lines every day this month until 2 days ago. Drip lines back on tomorrow.

I understand.

And another thing I understand about harvesting. To get crops from seed to harvest is not a one and done proposition. It takes work and tending and more work before it is harvest time.

Wait till you see the crops weeds I have grown. ( Pics to come, as promised up thread. We'd love a haul of peppers instead.

This thread has been a thread about vegetable gardening.

If you started your own thread about weed management you might get more input, but more importantly you wouldn't be pulling this thread off topic.

Part of my reason for my questions about weed management, also pertain to my wife's area that has 6-8 raised beds that were once loaded with her vegetable plants a couple years ago, but are now filled with overgrown weeds. I am hoping to get advice on clearing out the weeds in case we can salvage time to get a few late crops in either that space or other areas in our yard nearby.

One step at a time.

Thanks Mr post policeman

Do it.

We could use a new 'Vegatation control' thread.

Photos please!

Hand pulling is the only way to get rid of those weeds in your vegetables. (speaking of homeowner sized gardens)

I can post photos of my hand pulling weed technique if it will help.

You don't want chemicals in your food plot.

Thanks Del.

This ( pics of hand pulling weeding technique) will be a game changer for me I am sure.

I bet it will.

Let's see that bed!

I am leaning toward power tool trimmage of the tall stuff, then as I mentioned up thread, because the area is soon to be needed for access to do roof work, I plan to relocate the raised beds. This will require hand digging up the soil mix, which should loosen most of the weeds roots enough for me to rake, hand pull the weed roots and then wheel barrow the good soil to the new bed areas.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I bet it will.

@Del_ I am likely to take you up on the new thread suggestion for " clearing, weed control etc"

I shot a few pics of my driveway, and driveway side overgrowth yesterday as I was weeding. I will include those over there, as well as any more that I take of our FLOWER garden portion in the front of the house, and the tree lines to the rear and each side. This will be the right place for that topic.

Once I get some shots of the Food Garden Beds as is, I will post them in here, so as to stick to the intent of this thread, and my original reason for posting my first message.

A new thread would be good for you because then you could more easily go back to the informational suggestions that you like. Otherwise suggestions are more dispersed. Plus it will pop up for people searching for similar advice. The more descriptive the title, the better. For instance this thread would be better with the word 'vegetable' in it. Another good thread title would be '2024 Ornamental Gardening'. etc.

This is of no importance but I suggested this very forum to the owners back in 2010, I believe it was. The Firewood, too.

Three inches of rain in the past three days and the shiitake are kicking ass! They have been dormant for the past couple of months.

DON'T DO IT.

He pulled this same crap with me a while back.
And then, after taking his advice, thinking he was being helpful, he admitted he just wanted to get me out of the gardening thread!
Trust me, I know. And so do the others on AS.

HAHA TNTreeHugger,

Too late. Now I am in both places.

You were filling the vegetable gardening thread up with your OCD postings about the farmers damaging your trees with chemicals. It needed it's own thread.

I said nothing about joining you in your circus and had no plans to join in.

Are you sorry that you started your own thread?

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Del_, I am still waiting for pics of the hand digging of Weeds now that I posted a Vegetation control thread.

You are waiting for pics of how to hand pull weeds from a vegetable bed?

Hold your breath!
