Round up (concentrate) killed the stuff in my driveway, wish I had replanted it first.

Am I doing ok here? I seem to be constantly pulling dandelions in the garden and in between the cracks of my interlocking in my driveway. Is there a cheap way to get rid of them as opposed to me pulling them to find them come back again?

We use "Weed B Gon" in the concentrate.Haven't seen dandelions for years.https://www.lowes.ca/weed-grass-con...g-1-l-weed-control-concentrate_g1590154.html#

RoundUp will work as well, just don't spray on lawn as it will kill everything......

Not sure about driveway as that is just the nature of things, Nature and Life always finds a way; but, mulching with straw is a very effective way of suppressing weeds without the need of chemicals as well as having a soil-water retention layer.
No real need spraying those lovely raspberry plants for some minor inconvenience, plus dandelions are edible.
Those raspberries look tasty, it reminds me of my time in S. Germany and having the best marmalade/jam from the Black Forest. I'm not a huge sweets guy but consider making Black Forest Cake with the next harvest and replace the cherries/compote with those berries slightly macerated with a squeeze of lemon and just a hint of sugar, it really makes the cake:

So.. not the white vinegar we use to clean sink pipes?

Some grocers carry cleaning vinegar that is about twice as strong as the chip variety. Garden centres carry horticultural vinegar an IIRC you dilute it 50/50 with water.
My potted tomato plant delivered two golf ball sized treats yesterday. Considering I paid bout $20.00 for the plant that's about $10.00 each. The taste was worth it and there are a bunch more coming along. It was a bit of an experiment so the price was more for the education.

$20 for one tomato plant?????
It was a mature one in a big pot with all kinds of babies waiting to mature and I hadn't tasted a real tomato for so long I was desperate. It also came with some tasty herbs.
Also I'm working on an experiment and, getting a late start, it would have cost me a year.

You can kill weeds in the driveway with boiling water on the root
I've had toms from a Tumbler plant for a week and a bit now. Bit watery unfortunately but also unsurprisingly. Last week I cleared all the leaves away from the developing tomatoes on the other plants to let the light in to ripen them. Looks like a good crop, hope it dries up a bit to concentrate the flavour.
