You missed our Summer if you weren't in Benderville today
. I can not believe how fast the corn and potatoes are growing. A couple of photos I took today of them. I'll hill the corn one more time and then put down the drip lines.

Another example of the effectiveness of drip irrigation on our soil type

I'm sold on drip irrigation. I had the wherewithall this year to completely convert. Much less water usage, and I hate using city water anyway.

Thanks for the pictures. I am loving the look of that corn. Mine is just kinda limping along. The potatoes and first group of tomatoes have finally taken off a bit.
I plan to put down some newspaper and straw mulch tomorrow unless it rains.
