Couple quick pics

Hopefully I'll have time to post a quick update from work tomorrow.

1/2" total rain since Jan 24th

But we're making it happen anyway.

Silver Queen might make after all.

Straightneck, crookneck, 8-ball providing 200-300lbs/week

Good stand of purplehulls at 5 days

Round 3 of squash/zuchi planted

Hope I planted enough. 550' of okra-should be in business by mid-week.

Looks like a chance of rain middle of next week, so I may get winter squash in the ground. Temped to go ahead and plant 3000' of purplehulls in that same field. Haven't gotten the courage too yet since we haven't had a good rain this year. ??????

man i thought we have had little rain but nothing like you. how do you water your garden? and what do yall do about water for everything looks like everything would be dried up.

I run a 4" well pretty much 8 hours/day, sometime more.

The hardest part has been germination. I've learned some hard lessons this year on how big a role moisture plays in germination.

Bugs don't seem to be as bad, and disease/viruses haven't either. I've had a few gardens destroyed by heavy rains in the summer, so I'm not complaining too much.

that must be a good well looks like with no rain it would have dried up

I think it's 235' deep.

I think it's 235' deep.

It's a wonder you didn't hit oil in that part of the country.

I wouldn't be sweating like a dog in the garden all summer if I did!

Ok, I still would.

But I would have a cab tractor.
