Very nice pictures. Looks like you will be enjoying lots of squash and other goodies very soon.

Your garden looks just fine.

Grass is the nastiest weed in the first few years off sod. Just keep grubbing it out and get some mulch down. Over time you'll win. :-)

Looks good! I sort of look at weeding like house cleaning... yes, it could always be better, but as long as I can still find everything it's all good! I always keep a few weeds in my garden, either because they are tasty (dandelions, chickweed, purselane, etc.) or to provide food and shelter for beneficial insects, or as a "catch crop" for some of the baddies... this year, because of the rain, I'm leaving some extras to prevent all of my nice topsoil from washing away to the bottom of the garden! I figure if they are providing a service, they aren't really weeds. :) Also, I've seen pictures where people leave grass strips between their rows to help keep the soil cool (I think? Or something like that), so maybe that's where you're headed! Or you can get a nice stirrup hoe and take those bad boys out with just a little effort! Your squash sure look happy! Cheers!

Wow! Your plants look like they are growing very well! Weeds and grass too :)

My traditional garden gets overgrown easily by weeds too. Grass is by far the worst. I swear it happens in only a few days. I end up "loosing" my plants among the weeds. Either they grew and I never found them, or they were smothered by the weeds. Over the years, I found it's a battle I can't win without help. I am trying plastic solar mulch this year to keep the weeding down.

You have amazing growth in your plants. Looks like you will begin harvesting a lot really soon.
