Soooooooooooo this year we are trying a new approach!! :) We are going to try using mulch :) We are putting down newspapers covered with straw for the walkways and putting dried grass-clippings over the dirt between/around plants. We'll see how it works! :) Hopefully it'll do the trick and make our garden at least not 2/3 or more of the plant matter being weeds :)
Here's what it looks like right now. We'll see as the season progresses!
If you're a mulcher, I'd love to hear your suggestions/comments!!

I'm a big mulcher. After my seedlings are big enough to spot, or right after I have put plants in the ground, I mulch with whatever I can get. I save junk mail (throwing away any shiny pages) and use that, newspapers, paper bags, leaves that I collect each fall- pretty much anything! It saves my knees, and is terrific for the soil!
