Is Creeping Charlie in your lawn a good thing or a bad thing?
Is there a sure-fire way to get rid of Creeping Charley?
the only solution to kill every thing is to either smother it out or use Orthos ground cover removal
The best way to get rid of them would be to use weed killer, as long as it is the kind where you can plant within a short time. Otherwise, use boiling water or vinegar to kill what you don't want. You are going to be tilling the area anyway, so add potting soil, garden soil, manure, whatever you were going to amend with to make the soil healthy for the new plants. As far as vegetables, cool weather crops, like the leaf lettuce, etc. will last a long time with morning sun. My leaf lettuce lasted until about October last year by keeping it out of the hot afternoon sun last summer, my herbs did well with a few hours of morning and afternoon sun. My tuberous begonias went wild with not much sun at all and flowered until first frost. Hostas will do well with morning sun to almost no sun. There are many flowers that will do great with just morning sun. Have fun playing in your garden and planning what you want to do with your garden!
