Hugs.
If you plant beans too deep they sometimes rip their leaves off emerging. Usually when they don't come up it is old seed or cold wet ground. They rot easy. They do best in a hill or raised row so the soil warms and they can't get too wet. But then they have to be watered.
Tomatoes do best buried right up to the first true leaves as they will grow roots on the stem also. Later on remove the leaves that touch the ground and when the fruit comes clip back the branches about a third for more fruit and better light.
Just three to five leaves will do it. Make sure you take out all the spurs that grow in the forks or you just get bushes and small fruit, even on cherries. Splits are from too much water.
You may already know all this but if you don't you do now.
Still raining here so I may get wet weeding today. Sunday and Monday the sun shines. Lawn will be so tall I will have to half lap each pass. (small electric mower, small lawn)
One flower bed is doing too well, plants are going to fall over. One plant is above the railing on the deck.
Even green houses need weeding so if it rains hard I can work there.
Hugs, it is all overwhelming the amount of work, but it will get done, maybe a bit late but that is how it usually is. The labour as relaxation and distraction is more important than the weed free look. Although the latter if attainable is nice too.
Many people only aim for a small weed free area around each plant because that is all they have time for. I have had totally weed free gardens but I was much younger then.
