Everything I planted last weekend is up and going ( green beans, okra, purple hull pinkeye). I watered twice and it’s supposed to rain tonight and for the next few days so I’m waiting on that to end and then the tomatoes go in ( that was going to happen today but I wait for the storm to pass ).

Yesterday I transplanted 6 San Marzano and 2 Yellow Brandywine in what used to be the subterranean seedling solar atrium. I filled most of the hole with dirt, then topped it off with soil mix from three kiddie pools.

Today I did 4 Cayenne and 2 mini sweets.

How do your peppers grow?
I think it's may be the clay soil, but I put them in full sun and they always grow slow and need nutes.
When the timing is right, my peppers do pretty good. I have real sandy soil, and have to add soil mix to the holes when I transplant. I put about a gallon of soil mix under the plants and half a gallon around them. But keep in mind that it has to heat up before they take off, and all the super hots are slow as fuck.

This Hab is the same age as the Hatch.

corn patch is coming to life now
The soil looks good but you have as much seed contamination as I do….. maybe.

I don’t mean to be a picky Eunice but who was driving that hoe ….. a drunken sailor.

What flavor corn is it , I’m growing G90 this year. It’s my first time with this one, a co-worker recommendation. It’s supposed to be like peaches and cream which has been really good for me in the past.

Contamination = wild/unwanted seed …. like this

all that bullshit grass growing in and amongst my corn.
You see those metal pipes, I place one at each end of every row and pull a string. Then I hoe , remove string , fertilizer, cover fertilizer, place seed, cover seed . Or my rows would look like I used a Spirograph lol.
You do know I just pulling your chain right.

Very nice. My wife would love those wide rows. She always complains that I plant everything too close together.

About that grass. I never thought there was any good to crabgrass, but. . . The river bank has washed away from one of the post on my dock. I've put as much dirt as will hold, then covered the dirt with freshly pulled crabgrass from the sandhill garden, plus some viney wild flowers that have got in my mushroom compost pile, so it turns up in all my potting soil. Once enough of it puts down roots, I'll add more dirt. This is only six feet from the closest piling for the house, so I really need to get it stopped.

I broke up a bunch of concrete that had been around posts pulled up by the hurricane and dropped as much as would fit into the post hole, then as much as would stay on the slope. But I haven't used large amounts. If it gets worse, I'll have to bring a bunch in.

The hurricane took down lots of trees from the river bank, then the river gets almost to flood stage a couple three times a year. Each time it goes down, it takes a little of the bank with it.

Trees are still coming down. Last week I worked on the trail downstream from the house and there was an oak in the river that still had green leaves on it. I couldn't quite reach around it, so a pretty decent sized tree.
