We got rain three days last week. This has been great for the garden and my grass, but it has also been great for the weeds. The area where I pulled my corn a few weeks ago is overrun with weeds now. The area is approximately 100 square feet and just the thought of having to go clean it all makes me sweat. I need to do something soon. I had thought of completely replanting with Silver Queen corn, but I think I am going to plant some corn, some peas, and maybe even some peppers and tomatoes. I know I have to get some plants from the nursery for the peppers and tomatoes, but I hope there is still time.
As a side note, I don't even like tomatoes, but I do love certain kinds of salsa. I particularly like the kind found in most Mexican restaurants around here. It is very fine, and not chunky at all. I have had this idea in my head for the last few weeks of making my own salsa from fresh tomatoes. We will see, but first I most tackle the jungle.

Sorry about the deletion my first post came out garbled.
I know just what you mean about the jungle. Right now my main vegetable area is a jungle as well. Hopefully I will be able to do some taming this week. I'm not to fond of tomatoes either. Have you tried the black tomatoes? I did and am not hooked on 'Black Cherry' and 'Black Sea Man'.
No, I have never tried black tomatoes. I hope to find some tomato plants at the nursery tomorrow. I worked on clearing the area tonight. I still have a little more work to do on it. I hate the weeds, but I am thankful we are getting plenty of rain now.
I am making salsa right now and canning it. Mine is very similar to the resturaunt kind. I'd be gald to share the recipe if you'd like it.
Cindy, I will surely take you up on that offer. I don't want to jinx myself and ask for the recipe now, but if I get a good batch of tomatoes I will get it from you.
What insecticide do I need for pink eye purple hull peas
