Things are popping up. Last year's lemon balm (replanted) is now knee-high. Corn is popping up, as are beans, beets, chantarais melons, and cucumbers. The zucchini is bustin' out (as only zucchini can).
The suprise is the performance of the fingerling potatoes. They are absolutely incredible-- easily 9 inches tall. Wow. They obviously enjoyed the cool, moist weather.
No production from the peas yet. The watering continues.

Weeds
Umm... not the show on Showtime.
I mean the real thing. The insidious plants that taunt me all summer long.
I don't know how it is that I can work hard to grow what I want to grow, while these weeds keep popping up to tease me.
I already am growing a healthy crop in both of my back garden beds. I have fingerling potato plants (6 inches high with about 6 leaves apiece, woohoo!). I think I might have more weeds growing that actual plants that I mean to have in the garden beds.
It might be a long growing season this year.
