July 4

I finished setting up the last of the drip system on the potatoes. Everything is now under drip and working well. I replanted one hill of yellow zucchini. For some reason it never sprouted. The only thing that I can think of is that I forgot to plant that hill because the other zucchini is doing great.

I compared this years garden to last year at this same time and it looks as if I am about a week behind on most things. The potatoes are doing great and look to be the best I have ever grown. I have a picture at the bottom of this post that shows the size of the new potatoes.

I have a few watermelon that have not sprouted yet. I will give them another week and I might replant them.

No sign of grasshoppers in the garden yet.

The peas have small pods and will be ready to start picking in about 5 days to a week.

I thinned the beets and carrots. I only thinned one of the two rows of beets. You can tell that the thinned row is the one on the left.
