Comfrey,
Do you know what I would lovvvvvvvvvvve to get
*if I had the extra $$ for next seasons' garden*
Is that roll of landscape fabric you see at nurseries, that have all of their plants sitting
out on *sometimes they have drip lines to the plants* but it keeps the weeds down and walkable...

I'm just glad my growing season is coming close to an end....Looking for melons in those tall weeds is not much fun though. I've been picking 4 cantaloupe daily now for the past 4 days.

You know I had volunteer watermelons and cantaloupes anddddddd acorn, yellow squash and butternut, because I left some of the "fruit"
on top of the soil....

I am pretty good at cleaning up left over stuff...I have several buckets around the garden to put that kind of stuff into and haul it to the compost pile or chicken pen depending what it is. I did have some volunteer squash plants...That I gave up on last year when I had too much and the weeds took over, so I didn't clean it up like I should have, But even a tomato that has hit the ground I try to scoop up and put in a bucket. Right now I need to get those bean plants out of there..maybe this evening when it is cooler.

Teresa..the only difference in your garden and mine, is that the plants are taller then the weeds right now and so you can still see where most of them are in my garden.
