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.…

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.
