I love my garden! I am so excited to have one this year! I have 12 tomato plants, 2 pumpkin, 4 zucchini, 2 yellow squash, 6 bell pepper, 1 hot pepper, and 5 mild peppers. 2 eggplant, lots of corn, green beans, and snap peas. Mmmmmmmmm........ I can't wait to eat!
I know that I need to weed...... it's endless I wish that they would stay out of my garden.
P.S. any advice on keeping pesky ants and weeds out of my garden would be wonderful! :)

Good luck with that. I can't wait to see the progress!
For ants...it is called "diazanon" for weeds....we put our grass clippings over any and all of the dirt area, provides mulch for next year, and smothers the weeds. Good luck
I never even thought about grass clippings! Awsome! I am excited to mow now! Thanks Sodak!
Thanks for the luck Annie( I need it)!
To my understanding, Diazonon is hard to find, we used to buy it at Home Depot, but the last time we were there they were not carrying it anymore. For weeds you can buy Preen...you need to get out all your weeds and their roots that you have now, then you can sprinkle this over the dirt and it will prevent weeds. Read the directions on it, but I believe it is safe in gardens...or they have one that is compatible for food gardens.
Preen and Diazanon..... looks like I am off to the store today....and out to mow later.... I appreciate all of the good advice! Thanks guys!
