The rains finally came. When I went to work yesterday morning (5/17) at about 6:15, the rain gauge showed about ½ “. I went by the house at about lunchtime and it showed 5”. That has to be some kind of mistake; but we did have a lot of rain. Look at the corn. It is smashed completely down. Maybe it will come back up.
The broccoli all got ready at the same time. We have cut 5 good sized heads. Now the side shoots are almost as big as the heads were. The sugar peas are yielding a handful of pods every day. There are some little squash that will surely be ready to pick by the end of the week, if not sooner. The cucumbers are climbing their fence, as are the watermelon and cantaloupe. The spaghetti squash is getting ready to climb.
The greens are producing all that we can eat or give away. The salad greens are too. The herbs are all harvestable except for the parsley. It will be big enough to cut by the weekend. My friends all have little tomatoes. The tomatoes in our garden are only at the blossom stage.
