Greetings!
Finally, I have come to the conclusion of removing the weeds and wild grass on my vegetable garden that I started last month which I also shared in November Garden Journal with a title "November Garden Journal: I Started to Remove Some Wild Grass in Preparation for More Vegetable Planting and some Update on my Tomato Crops".
A lot has happened in my vegetable garden since I started to remove the weeds and wild grasses. I planted multiple new crops and additional crops. I dug up a drainage canal so that whenever my garden will be flooded the water can easily come and go.
By the way, this is actually a very late blog since I already finished the chore of removing the weeds and wild grasses on my vegetable garden about 19 days ago.
Below is the before and after look of the last part of my vegetable garden which I removed the weeds and the wild grasses. This part is behind my old Ribbed Loofah which I planted last July (if I remember it right).

Below are three short videos of me while I am removing the remaining (last) weeds and wild grasses on my vegetable garden. Some of my old squash crops can also be seen in the video.

Update on my Old Squash Crops and Additional Squash Crops
While I am unable to blog my old Squash crops I was lucky to have found this great community before I planted my additional squash crops. I actually have six old squash crops while my additional squash crops are twelve.
My old squash crops are actually grouped in three (three on each group). While my additional Squash Crops are planted individually.
In this photo, a flower can be seen on one of my old squash crops

Update on my Additional Squash Crops
While my old squash crops are starting to bear flowers my additional squash crops are just starting to grow into an adult squash
The stick/stakes that you see around my additional squash are for protecting the crops from our livestock, to our nine dogs, and two cats.
Also, I added some rice stalks (hay) on top of the elevated soil to prolong the moisture of the soil and to keep weeds and will grass from growing.
I planted my additional squash crops into elevated soil.
Fun Trivia: Here in our country, the Philippines we love to add the flowers and the young shoots of squash in a dish called "Inabraw". In other parts of our country, my countrymen also like to fry the flowers of squash with breading.
Below are photos of my additional squash crops.
