I have never had as many weeds in my yard and flower beds as I have this summer. It’s a nightmare. I have tried everything to kill them, even multiple applications of round-up doesn’t work. HELP !!!

Hi there. Cindy here. You could try keeping your grass longer. Longer grass is a barrier for weeds. You could also lay newspaper on the weeds. This will smother the weeds and they will eventually die off. Best of luck to you.
Use a combo of white vinegar, Epson salt, and Dawn diswashing liquid. Proportions are on the Net.
Be careful around your flowers, but this all-natural weed killer is the most effective we've ever used and it was featured on Hometalk. Hope it helps! Hugs, Holly

Pull out make sure you get roots also white vinegar
Honestly the best way to get rid of weeds is to pull them out by the root when the soil is most wet. I use to do while I was watering and then eventually went to taller raised beds where I no longer experience the weed nightmare.
This year I even used gathered leaf mulch which worked amazing for detouring weeds.

1 gallon white vinegar; 1 cup salt (I use regular table salt); 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap. This stuff really works. Saturate the root area and do it while the sun is shining.

Boiling water; epsom salt followed by boiling water; vinegar will all kill weeds. Or smother (no light = no grow), with newspaper cardboard or landscape fabric and top with a couple inches of mulch.
