Well in one of the annoyingly odd things, I planted three plot of corn up North only part of one really came up, so approx. 3 weeks ago I filled in with the same seeds.
Those came approx 80 percent.
It was not dry or really cold when I planted two months ago, but I had the same thing in my South garden which has better soil.
Sdly I have not been down there and am not sure if I will fill-in replant this late in the year.
My tomatoes have finally taken off, after pretty much pouting till ten days ago but then we have not had truly summer warm nights this year until recently.
Sadly the Chiles are rather pathetic, especiallly sad as last year they were gonzo.
They all came from a green house in Hugo , Mn and about one-half had yellow lower leaves with black spots.
I treated them with bio-fungicide but while I will get peppers, probably just enough for a pot or two chilli the way it looks now.
Potato bugs made the mistake of showing early when the potatoes were small so it was easy to find them and their eggs; curshed the bastards and smushed their eggs.
Went out today and did find a few later ones so I sent them to beetle hell.
As just an after thought I threw some radishes, sunflowers and a planted a few squash between the outer berm and the corn plots.
Heck, that is turning into a jungle with squash vine, a lot of the sunflowers are up, Cleome , a self seeding tall flower I always let some come up there, and volunteer tomatoes.
Thinned it out yesterday so now you see daylight through what was a green wall.
Potatoe onions, shallots, and set onions are doing real well; carrot have shown up finally.
Warmer , wet weather we have had he past two weeks have made a huge difference.
Heading down to the South garden tomorrow and am a bit anxious as to what I will find.
