Still having asparagus every day and the native blackberries are starting to come in and with all the rain are very tasty.
Strawberries are enjoying the water as well and we have the biggest crop we've ever had here.
Tomatoes are staked and many have egg sized fruit. Really anxious for those guys to come in.
Corn is doing nicely. I think my failure last year was the seeds. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
But the big boys are the potatoes. Most are already 3 feet tall. Hope they put on as much size underneath the dirt as they do on top.
The frisee is exceeding my expectations. First time for it here and I'm impressed.
My biggest treat is actually kind of mundane. I couldn't find any Pequin plants/seeds anywhere and mail ordered some. Planted in a pot and half were Pequin and the other half were Tepin (yes, there is a difference) and by the time they got big enough to identify I thought it would be unwise to transplant them and besides, they're doing just fine.
But there were a few pods left on the Pequin plant so I stuck the seeds in some dirt and they're sprouting and will go out in the yard.
While I see them in weird places all the time (gutters for instance) from what I read they aren't easy to start from seed. Go figure.
Prayers for a quick recovery for your husband.
I’m thinking that my potatoes won’t be much this year. I delayed getting them to the basement store room too long and then after I got them out for greening they waited too long (life intervened) before I planted them, and they looked kinda worthless.
I was just getting a pretty good batch of seed potatoes built up too. May have to start over and order some for next time. Hubby got a lot planted though, and his were new seed potatoes he bought from farm supply I think - or maybe Wally World.
Thanks for the prayers.
Yikes, I just looked at the radar. This gullywasher stretches from Del Rio to up in Oklahoma. It looks like it hasn’t quite reached you yet. Stay dry.
