Sup /diy/nosaurs,
How are your gardens doing?
This is my 3rd summer in my home but my first time gardening. The first year I had to save up for a roof, then the second year I had to refill my savings after the roof. So this year I made it a mission to do the garden.
I decided to do a 4x4 and an 8x4. It's a little cumbersome how I built them so next year I am going to do a massive one and combine them.
In the larger one Ive got peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bushbeans. And in the smaller one I've got 2 more tomato plants, beets, and onions. I went the real route and did this all from seed. I started the tomatos/peppers in my basement under a lamp for most of April/May.
I'm happy with turnout so far. I've got several dozen flowers on my tomatos. Today I cleaned out all of the branches touching the ground and cleaned house on them.
Anywho, I hope yours are going well.
Also, I'm just outside of Detroit for a reference of location.

The house I have now has a garden, but I've not tackled it. The grass is waist high and it's full of a fuckton of wild grass. I need to get rid of all of the grass quickly before I do. It would take literally hours, if not a day to cut all of the grass.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of a fair amount of grass quickly and easily? I'm thinking of using cardboard to kill all the grass off but I'd prefer something quicker and easier as I don't have the cardboard on hand.

Good luck man.
I would do the cardboard method because I hate using chemicals on food plants. If you don't have cardboard get a tarp. Then you can just reuse it for other projects.
I don't know what would be a good summer garden plant as this is my first one. But whatever you want to plant, I would check out when it is best to be planted. I think a lot of plants should have been planted by now so you might have missed the window for what you're looking to grow. It's worth checking out.

I'm jelly, OP.
The best I can manage right now is a couple of herbs on my windowsill.
My garden is going well
