It is a constant battle. I think that is one of the headaches of gardening. Renee, I only wish I had tips for weeds and grass. It is a constant battle.

My tomato and pepper plants are looking great, but . . . we went out of town for a few days. Now that we're back the garden is covered with grass! Our plants still look good, but how do I get rid of the grass or is it ok? We live in the South, so the heat and moisture make everything plants, weeds, and grass grow like crazy! Do you have any helpful tips?<br /><br />Thanks a bunch!<br />Renee I am trying to garden for the first time this summer (although my parents did garden a bit on and off when I was a child).

We are going all out this year -- started tomatoes and eggplant from seed, planted cool weather crops already... I am loving it! I only hope that I can say the same in August!

I don't know what it is but there is something very beautiful and satisfying about having a shelf full of something you've canned. It's even better when it came from your garden. Lori,

Of course we have a small back yard with a tree taking up most of it so I wind up doing my gardening in pots on the deck. It still works well for me and we get much better produce.

Sorry to hear about your allergies, but so glad that you still do it. For me we love to garden for the fresh produce, fun, learning and time together. I really like it all, but I must say my hubby does all the hard work, its a passion of his. Your garden is wonderful. Sorry to hear about your allergies, but so glad that you still do it.

I don't really love it. I love the results, though, and have long envied women who get them. So this year, I'm going to be one of them. When I prayed and asked God to teach me more ways to be frugal and appreciative of what we have and to steward more wisely over it, one thing I felt like He led me towards was gardening. I hope to have enough left over after we eat to learn to preserve via canning, dehydrating, and freezing. I hope to jar up some salsa, as well as spaghetti and pizza sauces.

My mom canned tons when I was growing up. I have done some, but not a lot. I can't say I love canning, but home grown and canned food does taste much better.
