Bouncing Back...Sort Of





The rains stopped and things are bouncing back really good with all the sunshine, as I'd hoped, but I've had to replant a lot. It took a good five days but I got the weeds under control, to a certain degree. I know everything looks bad in the pictures, but trust me, it looks worse in person. The good news is, I should have tomatoes by June 20. The bad news is, all the melons and pumpkins will be terribly late this year, September at best.

Replanted half of the sunflowers. 

These are black oil sunflowers, for chicken and goat feed, and right next to them I had to replant an entire section on cowpeas. Another feed crop.


The only thing looking really good are the hulless oats, which 

thrive in wet weather.

There's a lot of good sized green tomatoes on the plants, but the problem is, with such a cloudy and wet spring, the plants really


haven't developed enough to support a lot of production.



Same issue with the summer squash, the plants are trying to produce, but they're just not ready.
