Hint #1 - Start pulling tiny weed seedlings now before you are overwhelmed by the task.

Although these are small weeds, they are much easier
to pull out of the ground when this size.

By picking this handful of weeds today, March 16th,
Eileen's garden will be much more manageable in a few weeks.

Hint #2 - Carefully wrap the cucumber tendrils around the bamboo poles to get them climbing.
