Re: Shade



Finally, when I see the pictures of your patches, they are weed free.

What is the secret? You can't be weeding them suckers by hand all through
the season can you?



In my case, trick photography. ;-) No, seriously,

my patch has been very weedy this year. At times it

has gotten away from me. I tend to just pull them.

I know (I've heard, and don't necessarily dispute)

that they can upset the roots, but I look at it as a

chance to provide some aeration to the soil.



Also, in my case in early July there aren't many

weeds, but by the end of July you're up to your

waste in them unless you do something about it. I'd

have a weed canopy hovering over the pumpkin leaf

canopy.



If anyone does find the secret to weed free soil,

I would also like to know. ;-)



Regards, Cliff
