(from the other thread)
We picked over a gallon of raspberries (giant ones, biggest we’ve ever gotten), over a gallon of blackberries (giant apache ones) and 2 gallons of ginormous blueberries. There are probably 10 or 15 gallons of blueberries, a couple gallons of raspberries and a couple more gallons of blackberries left on the bush/vine. If we get rain today they’ll be huge too.
Still picking strawberries. We’ve never picked them this late before. I have everbearing varieties that usually sull when temps get and stay above 90. So far this year the past 3 days are the longest it’s done that.
My rice that I’m using the SRI method with (modified with mulch) is getting just rampant. Some of the ones I transplanted last (and had learned how not to damage the little root system as much) already have 15 tillers. Next year I’ll know a little better what I’m doing with that. I also didn’t get them out at 10 or 12days post planting like I was supposed to. These were 3.5w seedlings.
Winter squash are running like crazy and some already have females on them. Tomatoes are liking the non-swelter we’ve had and the peppers are too. Sweet potatoes are running finally.
I had a big square of corn planted. Went out the next day and saw scratching around in the soil. Chipmunks. Ask me how many corn plants I got out of that :P So now it’s war with Alvin and friends at my house.
Fall tomatoes are getting their 2nd set of real tomato leaves and I have a whole flat of basil to transplant.
It’s all good so far. Well, except the chipmunks. Furry cute little thieves. I need to find some rat snakes and put them out.
