Looking good, Juli! Hurray!



Rick, I have drainage aisles throughout the veggie patch and I've installed pipe at the low end to funnel extra water away. At the moment we're just trying to get over a 4" overnight deluge that caused minor flooding here. The sun shone all day today, so it shouldn't take long -if we don't get too much more rain in the next few days. The Lacinato kale is in a bed that isn't raised and it's doing okay, so I'm not too worried about the rest. Smiling

Astia container squash in a big tub -only one seed out of three sprouted, but that's all I needed in there anyway. Thumbs up

Peas and monster radishes! Hilarious!

This is where the bulk of the pumpkins will go.

I'm thinning kale and beets as I use the greens, but I think I need to use them faster. Whistling Second batch of broccoli struggling along in there too.

Carrots, blue kale, peppers and Brussels sprouts -with chard along the back row.

Long beans and mustard greens under their teepee, with twigs to try to dissuade the rabbits and turkeys -and banana melons, just getting started.

What's left of the first batch of broccoli -it looks like I could have planted these much closer together.

Greens in a big horse tank (out of rabbit range, but not groundhogs). There's dill in there too, and I usually put basil in it as well.

Tomatoes. I've marked them with little cages so I don't step on them, but I'll weave them or put up fence for the long haul. Those cages won't be nearly sturdy enough for most of those plants.

Bush cukes -thinned to two per hill so far. And three types of squash that I'll probably be stepping on *Blush* but I'll try to train them over to the fence. Try being the operative word... Rolling on the floor laughing
