No, but we have plenty of other biting shit. Horse flies are just hatching out here. And even with the cold winter, skeeters never really went away this year. Some ticks, but not as bad as you guys have it. So far, very little Lyme this far south.

The garden is liking the rain. Almost all the seeds that had been planted during the dry has sprouted. Some, like the melons, after I had replanted. So I have hills with 5-6 plants.

my garden is overrun with weeds again. will work on those again. can't keep up.

i am getting a strawberry here and there, same with cherry tomatoes and jalapenos. onions too...

3 of my 4 potato plants got blight and have died, but i still got some small potatoes. they were the small variety anyway. next year, i go back to buying at my local feed store instead of home depot.

corn is about 2 feet high...

I have picked a few yellow squash, and one zuke so far. I replanted all the skips in the squash, including the acorn. Speaking of acorn. . . .

Ok im officially jealous

The last 2 days were good above ground days. {today and tomorrow are also, especially for leafy stuff} Starting to the west of the okra, I planted 6 rows of sweet corn, and 7 rows of peas.

I have lost my green bean seeds. After much toing and froing, and digging in the freezer, I planted 2 1/3 rows of Cherokee Wax.



We went out to eat Thursday night, so I ran by Walmart and picked up some Blue Lake, then the next morning my cousin had to go to the Co-Op, so I ask him to pick me up a pound. I paid more for 3 ounces than I did the pound. Anyway, I got 6 2/3 rows planted Thursday morning.

Then starting just past the oak on the short rows, I planted 3 rows of Kale and 3-4 rows of Cilantro. And 2 rows of Scallop squash.

The rain worked it's magic on the pickle bush cukes,



and Muncher cukes,

i hate cilantro....good list otherwise

Some of the pole beans found a near by pole.


Some of the field corn is head high and starting to tassel.

A little bit of it does go a long way. I use it in salsa.

This is from 30 minutes of thunderstorm. I had just got done eating lunch, and heard it start, so I ran out and covered up all my soil mixes. Glad I did.

Awesome Garden..! I'm putting in my tomatoes and herbs after the ball game and in about 10 minutes, I've got a half dozen Park Whopper improved tomatoes and some Italian herbs in my tiny little spot, I'm totally jealous of your garden! following along, good luck!

The spot where the field corn is is where my tomato kiddie pools were in years gone by. I put some of the used soil in the pepper pit, but a lot of it just went on the ground. You can see where the good soil is by how green and tall the corn is.

I did another kiddie pool of tomatoes this week. Cherry in the middle, Pruden's Purple and Brandywine around the edges. I have to buy some tall cages or rob from the peppers. I lost my good deals at Lowe's, so the peppers might just be on their own soon.
