Combating weeds with putting down a layer of newspaper and heavily mulching with dried grass clippings. So far so good in the newly planted areas and the veggie garden as well as the planters. Still have to get my cucumbers mulched & trellis built now that the temporary fencing and netting to keep the birds from eating the seedlings has allowed them to grow to second sets of leaves. Not seeing any major rain in the next few days.
