Things are finally popping here at NLA. Couple cucumbers, and a bunch of cherry tomatoes so far have been harvested in the last week, with the big maters starting to turn. May and June were great from a precip. standpoint, but July has been dry. Gave em a drink last night and again this AM, hoping mother nature helps later in the week. I'm still happy with the rye and the permanent rows, but the amount of crabgrass and weeds that can grow in a 2-3" wide exposed strip amazes me lol.
The leftover corn seeds did not germinate well for the 3 sister mounds, so no beans planted this year either.
Watermelons are taking off and starting to flower, pumpkins growing good in multiple locations. The amount of volunteer sunflowers, pumpkins, watermelons and tomatoes both in the garden/patch and in the disposal area by the chicken coop that naturally took off is hilarious.
