I am thinking about next year, and can I do anything now to avoid having weed/bug problems next year.
Here are some pics of the weeds/bugs that seem to love my garden.
Can you guys suggest anything that will kill off the weeds before they grow next year?
Without the weeds I shouldn't have as many bugs, but I want to attack them as well if I can before I get the crop in next year.
This bug:
Likes this weed the best, and it is the most destructive bug I have.
Here are most of the bugs and weeds, I couldn't get pics of them all.
I am a newbie to this gardening thing, and this is a big garden for one person.
This year after all the rain dried up I had such bad weeds that it took me weeks to get them pulled out by hand. Once I got them pulled out all the bugs that were happy eating the weeds started eating my veggies. With all the time spent on weeds I wasn't able to spend any time on anything else. The tomatos never got thinned out, or staked up, and the beans are overgrown to the point that I don't know if I can get the now dried out beans off the vine.
I would be greatfull for any help, Thanks Mike B.
