Response to Plastic mulch vs. landscape cloth?

I just finished sowing this weeks worth of successive plantings in black plastic! We've used it for a few years now, removing it in Fall. I have Post Polio Syndrome so I have my limitations, but I'd hate to give up gardening. The plastic keeps weeds down, keeps the moisture in the ground and it is delightful to sit on was it warms these old bones. I tap the plastic to warn any snakes of my presence. I do want to try red plastic with the tomatoes next year. Also, hubby said he didn't like landscape cloth as it also allowed weeds to come through.
