Been busy trying to get my building wired and inspected, That has proven to be a cluster....Anyway, time for a garden update. The 2nd planting of yellow squash is up, I need to get another row of Zucchini started. My current plants are holding their own, still producing but slowing down. The pickle bush cucumbers I planted this year have really impressed me, they just keep pouring in. I loaded up on jars for a pickle fest this weekend Lol. I'm really not impressed with the straight eight cucumbers I planted, made a beautiful vine with a ton of blooms, just very little fruit. Could be the bee's I noticed I haven't seen them like I have in years past.
Butternut squash has fruit, I'm liking the size of this bush variety, will definitely try these again next year.
The sugar baby bush watermelons are a tad bit smaller than my squash, an yet they have a few melons.
Cantaloupes are starting to really put out, got several that should be ready in a week or so.
Cherokee Purples, They are loaded, eat my first one on a ham sammich Saturday...MMMMM
Brandy wines....Really good production, birds like them too...Grrrr.
Okra.....Cutting at least 10lbs every other day. Going to put some in a jar this weekend. The yellow corn in the background is done, I got maybe 3 bushel off of 8 rows which is not terrible, it didn't get the water when it needed it most, a lot of it never made. If I plant like this next year, I really need to buckle down on the irrigation.
