Those squirrels must've thought that your garden was a buffet. That shot of the chewed ears of corn of was heartbreaking! Maybe you can wrap something around the corn that is still left! I really like the way you support the tomatoes! Great update - I think it is good to show all the weeds - it just makes it more real!

I love your videos...I have been following your vids for the past two years....I really like them because to me they remind me of a typical non-pro garden where we can relate to....kind of like mine....I have a small 300 square feet garden here in around Boston myself....I grow tomatoes (22 plants)...hot peppers (10plants)...cucs(55)...zucs(30)..and pole beans (70)...planted the tomatoes first in late May...so far only harvested 15 cucs and 1 zucs from all this...

Hey man, sorry for the loss of your corn. Ours was looking great and last week a storm came through and laid it all down. Hopefully we will all have better luck next year. Your green beans look good, so things aren't a total loss. We have had a great deal of rain as well as GRASS too. There is just no way to get rid of it unless you can be there 24/7. Thanks for sharing your videos, it helps to know that we all share the same struggles. Good luck, and keep the videos coming.

Hey... I just got my Hooke n crooke today. Get one, they are unbelievable. They work. I actually can't wait till tomorrow to go do some weeding around my corn. Check with the bayou Gardner. Those weeds will be in check. Very very easy and a joy to use. Have a good one

sorry to hear about your corn! It sucks to work so hard on something just for it to all be destroyed! your tomatoes and peppers look great! I had bad weeds last year but the black plastic really did a great job this year! You should for sure give it a try

That's bad about your corn. Nice cantaloupes, peppers and tomatoes. Nice sunflowers too.

I know the constant rain gives the bugs and pests and advantage because it washes away the remedies but I guess we have to try to be more persistent then the bugs and critters to get *some* of the food. lol! Actually, you unknowingly did what people do to start a lawn and that is spreading compost full of seeds. That is unfortunate that happened. However you have plenty of nice plants to get food from. Nice tomatoes!

the rain didn't just let the weeds take off, it leached all the nitrogen out of the soil. I got the same problems! I will add more composted manure this fall too.

I know how you feel USC. We had a blast of heat, then rain, then heat and yesterday got almost 4 inches of rain overnight. Weeds out the wazoo, had to pull my squash & zuke plants, corn's done and only left in the beds to support the pole bean plants, which have taken over. Now we're getting close to August and I hate how it cooks plants and gardeners alike down here. Blah. ;-)

Hey!!! Believe it or not I've got even worse weed problems. Like you said lotsa rain lotsa weeds. Thanks for posting I was beginning to think "why me lord" it's just been a weird year. This is gardening man!!! Right? Hang in there I'm sure the fall will be better. At least that's what I'm thinking and I'm sticking to it.....lol

So you grow green beans up the side of your corn? I take it that the beans help fertilize while the corn is growing?
