GoatDriver, your place sounds like ours...with the exception of goats. We don't raise them now, but I think I might like to someday. Goat products are good for me.
Mary, it's great that your neighbor is helping you. I really want to try to figure the drip system out this year. During winter I always think that there will be plenty of time next season, but it hasn't happened yet.
I decided it was now or never as far as getting plants set out, so I put on two layers of clothes plus a netting hood and jacket and braved the rain, mosquitoes and muck. Miserably uncomfortable, steamy and dripping, with fogged up lenses lessening vision even more and scratchy fabric abrading...but I did get a good amount of work done.
Today would have been a good day to just sit on the porch and nap instead, but later on in the summer I'd most likely regret it.
Added a couple of additional fence panels for climbing veggies, but haven't got it planted yet.
The pea plants that the groundhog ate have bounced back and are beginning to flower.
They're shorter than normal, but maybe I'll still get a few. The lettuce is ready, so I'll probably try some tomorrow. The tomato plants along the house are enormous! The tops are already at eye-level. Peppers look the same as the day I planted them...I figure they're waiting to see if the sun is ever going to return.
