Individual, shallowly rooted lawn weeds like daisies are best removed with a small forked daisy grubber. Deep-rooted ones like dandelions need a spot treatment with lawn weedkiller. Large weedy areas need an overall treatment of weedkiller. Do not apply this in very hot or windy weather as the chemical may affect nearby plants.

Lightly tie the stems to the canes or strings and in a few days they will get the message. All vegetables with loose, floppy growth, like peas and even potatoes, will benefit from a few canes and string tied loosely around the plot. This will help to keep them tidy and prevent damage to the plants as you walk past.
