Well, this has been a terrible growing season, here in MI, and I've been a bit lazy.
Carrots never got very big. So far neither have the watermelon or pumpkins, but we have had more rain lately, so maybe there is still a chance.
Still ended up with blight, even though I slowed it with copper sulfate. Thankfully I had so many tomato plants, (31) that I have already put up 28 quarts, and probably have another 2) 5gal. pails worth to get out of the garden this week. I'm hoping at this point to put up enough to not have to grow but maybe one plant next year! Then I can work on the soil.
We had monster storms last week, even had 2 tornado's south of us. The wind we had knocked down 2 of the remaining 4 cannabis plants. Hubby staked them up, so I am hoping they survive.
I did get lucky last week, and one of our customers invited me to pick blueberries for free, and he only lives a few miles from our house. Hubby got bored with that quick, but I still froze up about 5 quarts. And, the man is wanting to sell some of his plants! I will have to "fix" the dirt in a few spots for them, as we are mostly clay.
More to add as figure out what is left in the mess. Haven't weeded as well as I should have, nor mowed around the edge of the garden. Uggh.
