Add lots of mulch between the veggies. So cover the soil with a layer of organic matter and it should smother and inhibit weeds and prevent new seeds from germinating. It's also great for the veggies. You can also mix up a batch of weed killer.
PLace all the ingredients in a spray bottle, give it a good shake and spray the weeds.
Weeds can grow just anywhere and it is always amazing to me how quickly they grow!

I love the vodka herbicide above! I use the vinegar that is sold as a cleaning vinegar in spray bottle w dish soap---super strong. Weeds will grow in the mulch, unfortunately. So I just dig them up---good exercise. Also, you could use newspaper under a walkway.

Companion planting also helps. Veggies with big leaves like squash will crowd out the weeds around corn or other taller plants. Even lettuce can do the same thing.
Years ago I spread a pretty thick layer of newspaper in the paths between rows of plants. It worked for me.
