Gardening ping, any help rebuilding the ping list would be much appreciated!
afraidfortherepublic, greeneyes, Gabz, tubebender,bgill, Arrowhead1952, applegateranch, bean_counter, are some that come to mind, other than the ones that I see that you have. Caps may be needed on Mr.Bender and Applegate.
Red will be on his brewing thread this evening; he may give you the names that he has.
I am sure JustaDumbBlonde is busy with some kind of farming or bee harvesting chores. I am pinging the latest ping list she sent me.
It has been hot hot here in NE Texas also. I got a late start on my tomatoes so have only harvested about a dozen so far. This heat has shut down their pollination so I don’t expect to see many more until the temps moderate.
Please add me to your/ JADC’s Gardening List; thanks!

Afraidfortherepublic has a list on home page iirc.
Banana squash starting to flower; tomatoes & peppers have set fruit. Beans, both bush & pole, are coming along on schedule.
“Serendipity” corn made “knee high by 4th of July”...just barely.
Potatoes & onions seem to be doing okay.
Peas & carrots are providing dinner veggies despite the heat.
Finally got 0.6” of rain last night. With highs of 95-104, and no rain worth mentioning for a month, I’ve been putting about 200-gallons of water/day on the garden, not counting the potatoes & the rhubarb patch. Potatoes, thanks to the heavy mulching, got 800-1,200 gallons for the month, and the rhubarb 100+/week. $1.50/400 gallons + 1 gallon of diesel to haul it from the water station in town. Usually we get enough rain to cut that by half to 2/3.
