| 3rd corn crop this season - third times the charm |
I was away in Miami for work all this past week. My Mom stopped by Wednesday and watered for me as we were having a hell of a heat wave. This morning when I finally walked out to the yard I was expecting... something more than what I saw - things just didn't grow as much as I had hoped. But... everything looks good and healthy.

| I love amazon and blue stripe 1/4" emitter line |
I also had my Amazon order waiting for me. This was a shipment of Toro blue stripe 1/4" emitter line on 6" spacing. Home Depot used to carry this stuff but I tried to buy some a couple weeks ago and was told they no longer carry it. I tried a local commercial irrigation supply company, "HydroScape" and while they were able to finally locate it from a distributor the price was something stupid like $48 per 100' roll plus shipping and tax (<-- this will make sense in a moment). So I left and I was irritated (ha - irrigated, irritated...). Good ol'
Amazon to the rescue! - note that the picture shows all black tubing but I verified the PN and it was the right stuff.

This was a chewed up, leafless
stem last week (check
older post). It bounced back
well! |
My PVC collars worked perfectly so I'm hooked on that solution. Pole beans look killer, tomatoes are shaping up nicely and my watermelons and cantaloupes also look good. I flipped my entire compost pile (which is huge) and watered it, expecting it to spike back up to 150+. Fertilized and watered the lawn, heavily watered the Carolina Cherry trees and pruned my navel orange trees.
I just lost interest in writing anymore, I'm tired and have to get up early.

This is one of the sickly looking tomatoes
that Seanna planted when she was here.
After some manure and fish emulsion
they are responding well |
