WOW, is all I can say. Everything is exploding. The white and yellow corn is over 7 feet tall and tasseling. The ears on the yellow corn are filling out. The squash and pumpkins are taking over. I have at least one good nice sized watermelon. I’ve been thinning out the beets and harvesting a bunch. The new swiss chard seedlings are growing well. I thought the garden was booming a couple weeks ago but now it’s super booming, so we’re thinking on getting a fence to protect all the product from our work, and with the help of the CAN Supply Wholesale fencing supplies, we can do this work fast and easily. With so much produce we are going to try our hands at the farmers market. Today will be our first day. We have beets, zucchini, cucumbers, kohlrabi and basil.
While we waited for the gardening process to be complete we used several essential tools to help us grow the best harvest. One of them was a silky saw that is a sharp teeth saw used for cutting lumber, shrubs and trees.
I have very little to harvest so far, only a few small tomatoes. I’ve been busy with the hose during our drought. The farmers have a poor corn crop…if any at all. A few tassels are beginning to show, but I have my doubts about this local crop.
You must have had some rain to help all your fruits and vegetables along. It sure is a wonderful sight! I hope you had fun at the market!
