You can't tell from the pic, but there are probably 175-200 chile plants in those beds. They should have been ~6" tall by now, but I had the weedpocalypse you see in the upper pic. The nice thing is, they wouldn't be producing until about August anyway, because average daily highs in July are high enough to halt fruit production in them, so I probably didn't lose as much as I thought.
It got that bad because we got double our average rain last year, and accordingly, double our average weed seed this year, and I've had to take care of my mother she had a major surgery.
Of course, I managed to get the time to do that on days that it was pushing record highs. One-oh-fucking-three degrees is what it hit at my house today.
Next up: Getting the grass out of the corn, then getting the creeping spurge out of everything, then the pigweed, lambs quarter, etc... I think I have a month's worth of weeding to do this weekend.
