We are always behind on our garden due to being busy selling tomato plants and the end of the school year happening right around the same time (we work at an elementary school). But we finally have all tomatoes, peppers, and cabbage in the ground and everything surrounded by w**d barrier and munched underneath with hay. I despise w**ding, so I do everything I can to prevent w**ds in the first place. Yes, I'm introducing w**d seeds from the hay into my garden. Do I care? No, because I will keep using the w**d barrier and hay mulch every year. I will hardly find a w**d in this section of the garden until early Fall, if then. Our corn rows are half planted and just about an inch or so tall. I will plant the rest of my corn in a few days. I will till and hill up the dirt in the corn a few times over the next few weeks and that will take care of any w**ds in the rest of the garden. Once the corn gets high, theres not much use in worrying about w**ds anymore and they shade the w**ds out. I do still have to add some squash hills in here somewhere and they'll be munched with hay as well. This is the first year I haven't grown any beans in a long time.
