    (I hope all these watermelons and the new chickens don't attract pests...)

    Mrs Inor also got her first 3 'maters this week. Given how many blossoms we have, it is going to be a hell of a year for 'maters!

    The jury is still out on the corn. The heirloom corn does have some ears started but I think they are going to be pretty small. The Monsanto franken-corn is HUGE but does not have ears yet.

    And we are getting RAIN!!!!!!!!!
    Chickens love watermelon. Toss the rinds in the coop and the girls will have a party!

    My garden is starting to shape up. Have some squash and jalapeno already producing. Cleaned the area up today so it's a little more enjoyable to be in there.

    Our avocado tree is a monster and and produces pretty well. It's about 25 ft. tall. This year we are going to get hammered with fruit.

    Cool updates!!

    We finished most of the planting this weekend - just some replacement corn growing in the greenhouse since the damn rodents eat it

    Also installed all the drop lines, and tested, this weekend to all the raised beds and corn rows.

    Some items didn't come up, and we'll need to replant them. Oh well...

    We're still eating corn on the cob, peppers, zucchini, blueberries, and Roma tomatoes from last year!

    Will post some pictures when I get a chance...too busy!

    Peace out...
    Peace,
    Michael J.

    My garden is pretty small as there are only two of us. I only have 7 tomato plants that I baby like crazy. Today I found the first plant with the beginnings of tomato blight and 2 fruits with blossom end rot. (Sigh) Every year I deal with this crap. I always manage to harvest plenty of tomato’s, but this blight is a PITA! Overall this garden season is NOT turning out to be as sucessful as previous years.

    End rot can be calcium deficient issues. Try side dressing with some wood ashes and water it in. The ashes will boost P and K too to help with fruit set.


    Hey, is this the Twilight Zone? it's 2022....

    Nice layout for your raised beds.
    I like the chicken run. I covered mine in white cloth too for shade and to keep the hawks out.
