Our weather in Southern California has been crazy, but I do hope to plant my Snack Jack Pumpkins this weekend. I want to try some Long Island Cheese pumpkins, but I don't think I have the space for all those vines.

I got attacked by my cucumber vines this week. I just couldn't take it any more - - - - way too many cucumbers - - WHAT WAS I THINKING ? ? ? ? ? ?

So, I pulled a couple of vines out of the garden. Now, maybe I won't fall while trying to make my way through the maze.

I just plannted some seeds of OKRA, EggPlant, and Green Beans. I am hoping by the time they get big enough to transplant . . . those dang cucumbers will be DEAD. Unfortnately, nothing is showing signs of dying yet.

My husband has enlarged the garden twice this year - - - and he says NO MORE ! ! !

My green beans are not doing as well this year and I don't know why. My harvest has been small off of them. The plants look OK - - - just not that many blooms and not the much fruit / beans. . .. What do you think - - - Need more phorphous (bone meal) or is it the 90 degree days?

Jen4 - Do you have any children? Offer them a few dollars and they will gladly pick weeds for you

OR you could way overplant like I did on the cucumbers and that will cut down on the weeds

OR you could put some pine straw down iin the walk ways - - - it helps the weeds not grow too
