Tweetykiss I so glad you are feeling better!! hopefully soon you will have all your plants planted. Yes I have problems with weeds. I try to keep ahead of them, but it's a hard battle so times!! Hopefully someone else can tell both of a way to keep them out!!LOL!
I have enjoyed reading your blog.

Tweetykiss good to see you up and about .I too have been under the weather running temp 2 days but had to work .Our relief was so sick too .Jubabe has been ill too.I am really glad you are better .I put raised beds with black plastic under it and then all compost.It helps .I cut black plastic and place
in between the rows if I
didn't have the raised bed. This is part of how I keep
some of the weeds out .If I didn't the weeds would take over.

So glad you're now on the mend TK I was beginning to think you'd disappeared into the ether!!! Take it easy when you go back to work as you don't want to make yourself ill again.

I use a mulch of bark chippings around my plants to help control weeds. It breaks down in time and has to be replaced by it's 100% organic which I like.
