Everything is growing good, but we need rain bad in our area of Carroll. We've been running water on the corn for the last few days. It is at ear stage and really needs the water.
Squash, zuc's, and cucumbers are pouring in every day. Jalapeño's are loaded for this time of year. Probably pick a good bucket full later this week for some cowboy candy. Making a batch of pickles this week, also.

Glad for youSo, sweet corn started to tassle last few days, man I love watch g the different stages. Got some green beans n pinters starting to make pods.

Window ripen, I let them start to turn red on the vine then go ahead and pick them. I don’t mind a fried green tomato every now and then either.Do u window ripen em? Or fried green maters?

I pull them as soon as they break as well. Letting them turn fully on the vine is just asking for trouble at my house. We pulled our first tomato today. Have a row of jalapeños that we need to pick and turn into cowboy candy as soon as I find time. Bell peppers are ready to start making their way into recipes as needed. Planted a row of peanuts yesterday and may get some okra in the ground this week at some point
Got all the watermelons hoed yesterday evening. Also trying something with the corn. Sprayed spinosad on the sweet corn trying to keep earworms at a minimum this year.View attachment 1312587
