So the squash and zucchini plants died, which isn't the worst thing in the world, because the plants were taking over the whole garden, dwarfing the peppers and eggplants, and producing little fruit. My plan for next year is to plant them in separate containers. Have you ever grown squash & zucchini plants? Those suckers SPRAWL. The tomatoes are really taking off, and I have tons of little green ones on the vine - just waiting for them to ripen. I'm toying with the idea of replanting my lettuces, since we go through a ton of that here, and Maryland stays pretty warm through the fall, so it will probably grow through Thanksgiving.
We've lived here for years, and we've tried very hard to grow grass in the front yard, but we get nothing but clover. I'm going drastic. The plan is to kill the whole front yard, and Operation Kill the Weeds is well under way. I'm mixing together vinegar, salt, and dish soap and spraying the lawn down with it, and it is pretty effective, which is great since I didn't want to spray poison on the lawn - with with the children and all. I'll rake up the dead stuff once it is all dried out, put down soil and grass seed, and see if I can't finally grow some grass out there.
