This is my first veggie garden this year. I have tomatos, squash, onions and peppers. Now ... when all the veggies has been picked and no more is being produced, do I remove the plants and replant next season or do they come back next season?

Hi Pickle Patch,
Congratulations on your first garden. You need to remove all the dead and dying plant material so diseases don't get a chance to take hold. You don't say when you planted your onions, but the starts are usually planted in fall and harvested the following year. If you planted seeds, you will probably need to let them stay in the garden for another year to mature. Considering your location, your onions might be ready in mid winter.
NewtWhen weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

You are so very welcome! Glad to know it's fun for you. So many folks fret too much when it comes to gardening, I like your attitude.
Don't hesitate to ask more questions if the need arises.
