Got crabgrass?

Things are progressing this season.  It got hot and dry quick but fortunately I haven't needed to water very much.

The potatoes are coming along strong, growing very fast and might need one more layer of straw.

The second row with the lettuce, spinach, and carrots has turned into more of a crabgrass farm.  I didn't do any weeding to allow for the seed to establish, but the crabgrass just took over.  There's still a scattering of carrots so I'm going to go through and pull out all the grass by hand.

The swiss chard and cabbage are growing well.  Some of the chard might be ready to eat!

The sweet potatoes are in.  To protect them from deer they're going to remain under the row cover for the entire season.  It should be light enough but if not I'll try a different cover.

The onions from last season have gone to seed.  They look almost alien, kinda cool.  Into the compost bin they go!

I'm going to have to put fresh paper down and mulch the paths again.  There's one particular weed I have yet to identify that is very persistent.  It apparently has a deep taproot that no matter how much of it I manage to remove, enough remains for it to regrow.  I've wasted too much time and energy digging them out as they can push their way through the straw, but hopefully some fresh paper will be enough to stop them for a while.
