I could use some of those potatoes with my green beans. I've been supposed to pick some up for a week now, and I never think of it when I'm in town.

My carrot growing crashed and burned last year. Did not do well at all.

This morning before work, I worked on the sweet corn planted in the saved seed okra skips. I made an effort to plant them far enough apart I could get between them with my hoe. They are only a couple three days behind the other sweet corn, so that will be good for comparison.

Really small,, but the first flowers on my zucchini have arrived... Hopefully I get something from them this year,,last year's zucchini didn't pan out well.. I got one zuke and the rest kept rotting before they were ready..
My corn shot up another three inches,, the corn seed I used was from 09'-2010.. so only a handful came up.. yesterday i planted last year's country gentleman seed in the blanks.. I got my three sisters patch going.. so far the pumpkins and beans are doing good.. still waiting for the corn to come in for the beans to climb.. I may transfer one of the biggest stalks of corn over to them today so the beans to tangle them selves into the pumpkins..
I had the chickens out free ranging the other day and they chucked this little guy out of his hiding spot and in to the yard.. he was covered in fly eggs ad fleas.. Im his new mamma.. LOL
i don't have the heart to let baby animals die.. so far he's doing very well..

@farmerfischer, he's a cutie.
I picked one really nice zuke. Then had two more getting close. One of them rotted, so I went ahead and picked the other one small. Since then I have saw two small ones start to rot, so I picked them off. But the 10 day forecast has only 1 day of possible rain, so hoping they get back to producing. {I should say it. Only one plant so far that is producing. Lots of runts. Some of the replants are up though}

That may be part of the problem. I side dressed pretty hot. I'll remember to go light on the replants.
But it was dry as fuck early on. Most of them were stunted by dry weather. It has rained everyday for the last 2 weeks, give or take a day. Yesterday was the first real sun in a week. I think they will do better now.

I did some hand watering, but I didn't run sprinklers. I should have, and just battled the weeds and grass. When we got the good soaking rain, seeds that had been in the ground 3 weeks popped almost overnight.
But my sand will dry out quick when it stops raining. I still want to get some mulch going on. I've got leaves and pine straw around the edge of the longleaf's that I've been raking up and using. Takes time, but it's working good in the peppers and tomatoes.

I'm hungry now. On the other hand my tomato plant refuses to grow.

threaten it, rough up some nearby weeds, then tell them they're next, unless they start growing...NOW!
