Sure do Kay.
Right now we are seeing the beginning of the winter germinating weeds.
Chickweed, along with others are opportunists and like recently disturbed soil.
something like a garden is great for them. Now it the time to get them under
control. Roundup or dovetail weeder now, mulch to keep others from germinating.
Loose control one year and you fight for another three.
