We are still so wet here....
My corn has been up for a month but is just sitting there not growing and just looking kinda yellowish.
Been thinking of planting rice.
My corn is up too. The doctor gave me this:

You will go in the hole on that venture.
Our spices have really taken off. Mint, parsley and delicious basil!
Cucumbers are growing by the dozens ... soon to be cut and jarred as kosher dill and bread & butter pickles. Some though, will find their way to the top of my salads.
We've got cluster upon cluster of grape tomatos. I can't wait for those to ripen!

The heat here in Oklahoma is killing us. so far something like 27 days over 100. We have 3 tomato plants that have finally started to produce a few tomatoes. I think we might have 5 tomatoes between the 3 plants. My son works for a nursery and they say that no one is having luck with tomatoes this year due to the heat. To bloom and produce fruit, the night temps need to be cooler. When it stays around 85 overnight, the tomatoes just won't produce.
We harvested our onions about a month ago and have quite a collection hanging in a mesh bag in our garage.
Many of the herbs we planted did great, but have really started struggling in the heat. We have basil, chives, dill and parsley. We've harvested quite a bit, but they were mainly grown for the butterflies.
My peppers, they're doing great. I have an 8x8 area planted in green chilie, jalapeno and ancho. Mostly green chilie that I started from seed. The plants are so loaded that we have actually pulled some of the newer, smaller peppers so the older peppers can grow larger.

I have a few things coming out of the ground. The tomato plant I started indoors at the start of winter isn't doing so well outside. might have put it out to soon.

How dare you! You cherry tomatoe-pickin' bombastic bastard!
Sitting outside yesterday, I noticed that one of our grape tomatoes is turning red. One. Not a cluster, but just one. The cherry tomatoes are lookin' good ... still waiting on those too.
We've harvested lots of cucumbers which are now jarred as pickles. Mr. masq picked some green beans yesterday. He steamed them on the stove and the two of us gobbled up that harvest. A handful of blueberries ... a handful of raspberries and some peppers completed yesterday's harvest.
Hey kwc57 ... I hope your weekend project helps your crops.
This isn't on the subject of gardens, but I feel the need to mention it now that Two Thumbs has brought up his squirrel issues.
We have issues with a fox ... or two.
Sighting a fox in our yard or the woods behind our yard has been rare, up until now. 5:10 on Saturday morning we were jolted awake by one of the scariest sounds I've ever heard. The screeching of the fox. Mr. masq got downstairs and outside to scare the fox, just as the fox was about to take a bite out of my cat. He ran a bit, the fox that is, and stopped. It took a few more attempts at yelling before said fox disappeared into the next yard. Over the course of the weekend, we saw the fox several more times.
I don't blame the fox ... he's just doing what fox do and I imagine there may be babies to feed. But I sure as hell don't want one of my cats or my bunnies to be his next meal.
I've been doing about 1200 sq ft, a variety of veggies, put it to sleep with peat, manure, lime in the winter, try something new every year.
when i had chickens i found their manure downright nuclear for some plants
i'm planning another chickenhouse, a really big one. this time i'm thinking along the lines of a barn septic tank, pump it out to the garden every year....
