Nevermind!

After 0.6 inches last evening lake pumpkin is back.

Drying off

The puddle in the pumpkins is no more!  The plants that did not drown are vining across the rows.  Mom said today she did NOT wear boots to pick zucchini. 

All the rain did make some great corn, and we are starting to have some of everything, including a few tomatoes and peppers.

More rain!

The rain continues.  Over 2.5" so far.  Good for the corn, but maybe we should have planted rice here instead of pumpkins. 

Summer fields

Blue skies...a welcome sight in this rainy season.

Tomatoes, 2000 of them, with 1000 stakes and first string.
Solar-powered electric fence (foreground) keeps out deer.

Sweet corn much taller then "knee-high by the Fourth of July!" 

Puddles make it difficult to harvest summer squash.
Make a tasty, colorful medley using 10 varieties.

Pepper patch with a few skinny yellow hot bananas. 

Cool weather crops on white mulch,
to provide cooler soil, conserve moisture and grow cleaner produce. 

We are harvesting Lettuce II now.
These 2 rows of Lettuce III will be ready soon. 

Candy onions love these warm rainy days.

Broccoli (foreground) coming soon!

Pumpkins planted ... and watered

Mom and dad got the pumpkins planted.  Now it is raining!

Nearly there!

A solar panel runs an electric fence to keep the deer out.
Lettuce will at market on saturday if mom can drag dad away from the Red Power Roundup in Ohio.
Zucchini is still tiny, and I ate the two largest ones.
