  Becky,

  I solarized to get rid of Bermuda.  This is the perfect time of year to start solarization.  Irrigate well, then cover with clear plastic and leave it on for the hottest part of the summer.  It will kill the bermuda and most other weeds (unfortunately, cheeseweed and prickly lettuce will likely survive).

   

  Also, on peach varieties, I like May Pride.  (May Pride, NOT Mid Pride).  Really tasty fruit.  The blossoms are beautiful rich red doubles.  Some years when the tree blossoms all at once it is breathtaking.

  That is very sweet offer! We live in East Mesa, ValVista/Main. I am afraid it may be out of your way, but if you are ever in the area you can stop in for a minute. With 2 toddlers we don't get out a lot, but would like to meet more permies. It seems that everyone from the group that I know of lives way out west or out in Queen Creek.

  Sounds great, just at the moment our garden is in between everything, first squash just came in, but corn is still growing and the tomatoes are green. If you love beets this is the garden for you! We also have cabbage, but everything in the winter garden has bolted, so we salvaged what we could and everyday give a bit more to the flock. It is a first time garden after all. I am afraid we don't have a whole lot to offer on the swiss chard. Mother in law uses it like spinach. Kris loves it, but I am still holding out on grrowing it. Sometimes you find great ideas in the archives for things like that. Maybe we could trade for a plant. I have a small container of strawberry from a 14 years strong vine, and curley parsley, and even sweet basil from HD.

  And that, my friend, is because we don't have one! Hence the "thinking" about it part. We are the only people we know who aren't on facebook or have a blog. Still working on the tech skills here. Kris is handy and I am artistic, but no technical skills concerning internet/computer, but I have come a long way in the last 16 mos. Hopefully we can establish something by the end of the year. Thanks for the interest, though.
