Gardening tips needed :D

[J_Lynn]

Alrrrrright - so this morning my 42' x 12'6" lot was tilled up out by the shed on the side of the barn (thank God for tractors...because if I had to do with a regular tiller, I'd still be there!) and I am officially getting prepped to plant a bunch of stuff :)

Now, to all of you who have veggie gardens. I have some questions. I am wanting to keep this as all-natural as possible. I don't want to put Seven Dust all over my veggies and them come inside and eat pesticides; that's why I'm growing this stuff in the first place - not only do I want access to veggies so I can go eat them until I pass out, but I also want healthier food without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

So, what organic/pesticide-free ways of bug removal and weed prevention are there for gardening? There was some stuff at Tractor Supply but it was a little high and since I don't know if it was any good - I wanted to talk to the internet first (lol)

Suggestions please :)

And since I am so freakin' stoked about this; I had to include pictures

I figured since my rose bushes are growing so well, I am going to expand my green-thumbing and see if I can pull off vegetables too hahah

(the only thing missing from the pictures are the tomatoes - I am buying the plants, not going to bother with the tomato seeds)
