    Ideally, you could get the soil right in your entire garden. It's a lot easier to put a handful of lime in the hole when planting or transplanting. I think I read that tip on here from Swamprat years back, and I haven't had a problem with blossom end rot since.

    Deer have moved in and massacred the green beans. In 20 years we have never had a deer problem here. Squash and zucchini are doing well. Corn will get some nitrogen this week and crowders and okra are coming along. Picked the first cherry tomatoes and banana peppers yesterday.

    This fall will likely be the first year I shoot a deer in my backyard.

    Squash and zucchini coming in, maters showing, beans blooming and corn still growing. We late but looking better than I expected.

    Planted some corn in one of my deer food plots behind the new house. Had no clue all the kale, turnips, etc would come back up so well after being bush hogged, turn plowed and roto tilled. Took big brother down to pick some for supper tonight

    With all the rain, you got a shot at making a crop. I’d run down beside the row with some super kicker, or a stiff dose of 10-10-10 or cripple 19.

    I got a call from my gardener yesterday that the sweet corn will peak in about a week. I'm gonna go pick a few bushels on Sunday or Monday.

    Have any of yall ever had any luck with pumpkins? My son and I started a few 200 lb pumpkins from seeds a few weeks ago. He's anxious to see how they turn out.

    125’ row is around 18” high. We still late here but it’s coming along. I’m a sucker for lost causes though.

    I've got some.. nothing hard about them, squash

    I have a couple few heirlooms that I'm doing behind my garden. We used to have a large patch at the farm and a watermelon patch, we kinda ended that stretch last year. We basically just have some silver queen near some feed corn now, and I've got a small garden at the house.
