Thanks. My corn is a big letdown. Also have a few green beans dying. I'm going to plant more corn, peas and green beans the next good above ground day.

Maybe dried out. They say you want the equivalent of an inch a week for the first few months.

You can tell where I have dumped used soil in the garden. The corn especially has a few really big green plants, and a whole lot of average ones.

^^^^^^ I like that idea.

I finally got some rain. Slow and light for a few days, then a couple of real thunderstorms yesterday. It did sand the Armenian cucumbers and young okra, but I will deal with that when it dries out a little. We were really hurting for rain.

Blooms on the peas. The peas ankle tall. My back hurts just thinking about picking them.

The corn is starting to silk. The "big" plants are waist high.

I transplanted a four more peach trees. Two at home and two at the camp. That is the last of last year's peach trees. I really enjoyed growing them. I forgot to take any soil mix to the camp, so I used some of the wood ash and pee mixture I had made. I put a yogurt container to each plant.

Lots more exciting things going on in the garden {lol}, but time is short. Later.

Both the melon and okra replants were coming up today. Amazing how good seeds get when you get a big rain. I forgot to check the pickle bush beds for sprouts.

I picked the first green beans today. Not enough for a meal, so we mixed them in with some stir-fry for lunch. The wife and I ate the little squash raw in the garden a couple of days ago.

Blooms on the Cali Wonder bell.

nice pic I grow them in rows in ground each one staked up,iam going to run half a row 6 plants with the set up like yours iam thinking less plants an more fruit,just let them things go instead of trimming better air flow also

I have a bunch of tomato plants I have to do something with. Was thinking of a couple more swimming pools, and maybe give the rest away. If we do get a greenhouse/garden shed built this year, the shed part of it is going right where my tomato scrog is. I want to use it again, maybe with a raised bed under it instead of the five gallon buckets. I just need to move it.

The sweet corn replants {from after the killing frost} are starting to tassel. They never caught up to the other corn like I thought they would. I'm planting round 2 of peas, green beans and corn the next good above ground day.

I'll be pea picking in a few days.

I got my tomato hempy buckets assembled and planted today. I decided to get more well established plants from the nursery. I've got 2 Black Krim and 2 Better Boy going. I have two different fertilizers to use: Masterblend Tomato formula (Lowes buckets) and Greenleaf Megacrop ( Home Depot buckets).

Thank you!

I do a lot of selective pruning and removing suckers. I train them up the fence panel to fill it out pretty evenly.
