right now i only have a vegetable garden. my backyard opens directly into the desert (there is nobody else around), so i just preserve the natural look of the desert in my yard. i have planted some sage and other things, but i let it do it's own thing, an don't do a lot of maintenence.

i have a nice vegetbale garden. i grow a lot of chile peppers, jalapenos, serranos, and big jim peppers. also bell peppers. i also grow a lot of tomatoes (full size and cherry tomatoes). and onions, squash, watermelon, cilantro, peaches.

what strange land do you come from? you're like some istp God dropped down into type c.....you know a lot about everything--you know lines from movies, know cool songs, know about ivs to combat dehydration, and you grow big jim peppers? BAH! i don't believe you are a real person at all. i think you are a fake person made up by a bunch of college nerds to appear like One Perfect Human Being.

i'll be watching for you guys to slip up........!!

The rose bush is buried underneath a huge patch of the things.

I have some of those insane long grass bush things. no idea what they are called. Like tufts of thick grass like leaves.

Some weird furry beans on this plant that grows up the fence.

A tree with orange and red inedible berries and 2 bush things I can't identify, not that I've idenitified anything so far.

But it has so much potential. Like me.

BerberElla-
it sounds like you need to pull a lot of weeds. but the upside is, once you are done with the initial work it will get easier. if you go nuts and pull out all the weeds (which will be a shit-ton of work), then you can relax some, and just pull small weeds before they get too big. once they are all out all you have to do is keep vigilant, and do a small amount of work more often, rather than an epic lot of work.
weeding is pretty much a constant in gardening, though. it is unavoidable, unfortunately.

How to kill weeds:
The good weeds: harvest and smoke them, or sell them.
The bad weeds: rip them out by the roots.

Having just attacked the jungle that is my garden, may I suggest soaking the areas you wish to weed before you try pulling them out? It helps a lot.
