 I'm wondering what's my best defense to get that under control so I don't have to deal with it next year. Great question, and you are certainly not alone this year. If you were to come out and look at my garden, you might be shaking your head because, yeah, I got weeds out there right now too. What I would be looking at doing is try to get those weeds pulled out or just cut off, even right at ground level. Very likely you have a lot of annuals. But depending on where they're at in their life cycle...
