Lettuce was the casualty, it was just starting out and it got pummeled. House checked out, no roof issues, other than a shitton of leaves up there. One gutter got pulled loose but that was an easy fix and the gutter guard fell off in the same location so it went back on after the fix.
My buddy who kept an eye on the place and cut my grass picked up all the debris afterwards, so there’s a nother pile too burn…. Beer and fire? Yep, any excuse…..
We went through the garden Sunday, got some beans, cukes, and squash and zucchini. Wife made relish and we’ll have some zucchini bread here this week as well…. Corns looking decent, and peppers are coming along as well… Carrots were kinda dismal for the couple we pulled, but we’ll see what the next week brings us….
We got a late start but this was a week ago. Everything is looking as it should.
Transplanted several more suckers today. It took me about 10-12 days to get roots to look like that. I’m running out of room and pots to plant them so I planted them in the biggest pot we have today. Lol

Bryce is only 2 years old (yes he’s in the 90% for height - idk where he got it from I am 5’10 lol) but he’s ready to start picking these 3ft tall tomatoes!!
New/fresh garden soil seemed to be the trick. We also no longer use soft water.
Starting to really take shape now.

He saw what Miracle Grow does to the gardenso now he's got it in his sippy cup! I see the blue clue right there in the picture...
Currently canning a couple jars of banana peppers. Hopefully this storm doesn’t put a damper on that.
Wife found a recipe for lemon bread, using yellow squash. Sounds interesting. We’ve got a half dozen of them to play with.

Mine is a shitshow again. Between rains, heat, and my schedule, I'm getting whipped. Hoping to tame it down again over the next few days. The chickens have been eating some of the early stuff and they're loving it.
Ok, it was pretty darn good. Much better than I thought it would be.

No pics but ours really took off the last week or two. Imagine that. Get some rain and she goes. Something about mother nature that is so much better than the hose.
That’s all I did. Changed water 6-7 days in. Transplant 5-7 days later.
