I am not suppose to plant till the second week in June
(zone 6b).

But I'VE GOTÂ*Â*Â* WWWWW EEEEEEEEE DDDDDD SSSS !!!!Â* Hay,
your maters may be thee foot tall, but my weeds are a
foot tall and I got millions of them!

Okay, not much of a comparison.

Look over at my patch for growing tomatoes and
it is a forest of cheat grass.Â* My poor back!




Â* Are you mulching ? I put a heavy layer of straw down between the
rows/plants , helps a lot with weed control - plus as it decomposes it
adds organic material to my soil . Another measure I take is to burn any
grass , in hopes that it will kill the seeds .Â* On another topic , was
it you that had problems with squash bugs ? Found a few out on/near my
acorn and other squash plants , and squashed them ...pun intended . I'm
wondering if just removing the eggs from the leaves is enough , or if I
need to take additional steps to prevent a major infestation .
