Garden - June 30th

Summer is well on its way now, and we got another shower today. It is so nice when we get these afternoon showers and I don't have to water every day. I am working on my second plantings of the season in most cases and here is an update on where things are.

Here is a bed of Pink Eye Purple Hull Peas.  They are at 50 days and forming pods now


Here is another bed of the same peas, these are at 11 days


I have high hopes for these 4 squash plants. My first planting didn't do well, but these are doing awesome in my raised bed. Super vigorous and healthy. I already have some baby squash buds at 21 days.


My second planting of Peaches and Cream Corn, this batch is also in a raised bed. It is also doing great. I planted 72 seeds in a 4X8 bed. I hope to get the same output from this 32 sq ft bed vs my previous planting in over 100 sq ft. I think with better soil and easier care I will get more plants with two ears per stalk. The 100 sq ft section produced 85 ears out of 110 seeds planted.
