New planting season is arriving!!! What are you plans? Which new varieties for corn are you wanting to try? Or new Squash??


Last year-- the corn planted could not compete with the heavy weeds--- maybe 5-6 reached 6 inches before quitting. Will try again in a different location. Suggestions for crowding out the weeds? squash ?

You could try cardboard to suppress weeds . Going to try that myself this year . It may be harder now to do 3 sisters as a lot of weeds were brought over . I have been in parts of the USA that have few weeds . Just a thought .
 
Hey Jerry cardboard has lots of uses. I do use it where a weed got started and is VERY invasive. Figure smothering is my last ditch effort as herbicides are not an option. Will loose a few daylilys but I have other plots of those to replant.

Last year was a hard year for many reasons, this year better. Used more types of mulch to keep down weeds between rows and around the plants.

Son discovered how well a hoe chops weeds lickty split. His new favorite tool.

ps. I havent checked the mulberries for a while, but dang they grow fast. Have the fencing around them to keep the deer off. And discovered a beautiful specimen at the middle school track...planning a little raid in the spring.... might be different than those you sent me.
