I was going to post some pictures but since I have so many weeds didn't want to embarrass myself too bad... Plus I watered last night and between the water and wind everything tipped over this morning... I was hoping for the big corn crop this weekend, however the coons got in the patch night before last and ruined about 25% of the patch.. Put up the electric fence last night but I can't tell if it's working and I'm too chicken to touch it after the last time I did that... Anyone want to volunteer to try it out? Not sure if water running over night or the fence, but the coons didn't do further damage last night... I love August for everything being on in the garden at the same time, we have a pretty good selection of items for the farmers market now, if I had more time to harvest this week, we'd have a great variety, but I'm still trying to get the sides on the greenhouse so may not get a full harvest ready for the market again this week... Fun times, and congrats on the increasing harvest... Later J
To each their own I guess, we all do things different but it helps me keep track of how my garden is doing. Weeds, been there done that too. Years ago before I went to a drip irrigation system, I had a big problem with weeds. When the plants were small I'd till between the plant rows but as they got bigger that did not work, so I just let them go, for the most part the vine plants covered the ground pretty good, so it wasn't a big issue. We would still love to see your garden, weeds or not, especially that green house.
As far as the increased bean harvest, that slowed way down with the rain we got, I think the bees weren't getting out and pollinating as much, so my harvest was cut in have on my last two pickings. How often do you pick your garden Jeff?
