It's Hot And Dry Here Too, But The Gardens Are Doing Good
« on: July 17, 2012, 03:43:49 PM »
  I haven't posted for a while, it's still hot and very dry out!  It's 98* out right now and it's been hovering around there for a few weeks now!
 
  Anyway, here's a few garden picts., starting with grn. beans and tomatoes,
 

 
  I have lots of grn. tomatoes and the beans are just getting started, but i'm getting plenty of cukes!
 

 
  The sweetcorn is kickin butt! and makeing ears!,
 

 
  I want BIG ears that are filled out well, so now's the time to see that the corn has plenty of water!  So, i started my pump and shot lots of water down each row,
 

 
  Then i moved my pump to a different pond, and flooded my orchard tree's.  With the pump at a fast idle, it puts out one gallon a SECOND! (yes i measured it)
 

 
  And finally, i dug a little more garlic this evening to finish my day!
 

 
  The heads of garlic are just beautiful this year!
 
  That's it for today,

Very nice.  Everything is growing well up here although I don't have near the tomatoes that I usually have nor the peppers.  But cukes, zukes, green beans, carrots, onions and blueberries are puting out like crazy.
