I wasn't real sure but thought they would. Been a long time since I planted spuds but kinda remember once in a while cut worms use to do a number on them and they  came back.

Great minds think a like HD,  second year on the waste high garden. It sure is nice to cover early on for the seeds or if frost is in the forecast. The boy made the 6 dollar trellis,  not bad.

Didn't think I would get it done but the gardens are planted. Almost didn't make the Memorial Day cutoff.  The squash, pumpkins, gords, tomatos, potatoes, oinons, peppers, canna lilies, gladiolas, and cukes got planted today.  Long day but wanted to get it done in time for the rain.

I am pretty well finished also. I still have to transplant melons under row covers yet. Also have to plant my third batch of sweet corn next week. The fourth batch around June 15 and the last batch the end of June......Sweet corn from the last week of July through Sept.

Another working weekend. ....the gardens have all been tilled for weeds, and the zucchini have been barricaded against the onslaught of deer... lol!

[The General]

Great minds think alike.  I tilled and hilled up the taters today.  Wow they grew like weeds the last week.

[roony]

$^^$###$%^# deer got me a few days ago. They got me bad.

[deadeye]

HD, Wow, that's some barricade.  That should keep out charging elephants.
My gardens are way behind (except the flowers) due to my late planting.  I'm
sure they will catch up when it gets hot out. 

[glenn57]

got the garden weeded, cans off all the plants, replanted some green beans, carrots and kalarabi.

the green beans where an heirloom and half the bag of seeds were broken and crushed. pretty disappointed in them. I amy not have many beans this year which sucks. I can or pickle most of them.

We planted our garden this past weekend also. We planted six tomato and six pepper plants that we hard started in the house earlier this spring. Then we planted a couple rows of green beans, a row of carrots, a row of radishes, two rows of sweet corn, a few squash, a few cucumbers, and a couple zucchinis.

Lawn and garden got a well needed drink of water tonite!!

[The General]

2 and 2/10ths here so far.

We had a very short break and went to look see. Had just a bit over an inch but it's still raining.

Just finished vegetable garden planting today. Put nitrogen on and tilled everything as the lambsquarter and waterhemp were starting to get ugly. My leftover sweet corn seed didn't pan out so well so had a do-over with some fresh seed. Planted another area to sweet corn as well since I had plenty of seed and don't want to carry over any more than necessary. Also stuck in a couple rows of string beans about 30' long so that should give the bunnies something to nosh. Will have to start carrying my blunderbuss.  Tomatoes are really starting to hit their stride and the muskmelons seemed to appreciate the weeding I gave them. Would be nice to get some good ones again for a change.

I keep my sweet corn seed in the refrigerator and it seems to retain its germination.

[Dotch]

Keeping it cool yet above freezing is never a bad idea.This seed also had a heavy dose of neonicotinoid seed treatment (imadacloprid) on it which may not have helped. Tingles a little if you get it on your fingers. At least I don't have crabs though! 😎 Usually I remember to get new stuff from the local seed dealer but I usually wait until all his paying customers are taken care of first. They had Ambrosia, a 75 day bicolor SE so got that. Had it 10 years ago probably and it was decent.

Seeded my last 2 batches of sweet corn today. Should be ready in Sept. I have 5 batches seeded about 2 weeks apart. Grandkids love this stuff.

Northern Xtra Sweet....67 days

Mirai 148 Y.......72 days.
