That's a sweet garden spot you have. If you never want to have to weed again I have a trick. Once your plants start popping up cover the whole garden with newspaper (Not the shiny store ads) and cut holes for the plants to poke up thru. Then wet all the paper and cover with straw. You will be able to go all summer without having to do anything but harvest. I'll have some posts coming up about this method I use called "The Lazy Man Garrden".
