We’ve had several days of rain, and the garden is just booming with life and growth. I don’t know how many squash vines I planted, but it was definitely more than we have room for. They are growing up the teepee, spilling over the fence and trying to take root in the neighbor’s lawn. I’m about ready to pull out some cherry tomato plants as I can no longer keep the ten or more plants picked on time. There are now large open spots where I’m pulling out spent corn and been plants, but I’m not quite ready to turn the plots and get fall crops planted. I need some time to breathe!… but not too much time or the weeds will get ideas.
Given that I only slept 3.5 hours last night, I’m going to stop trying to use my words and just show you what is going on in the garden.

Thanks so much for this update! I'm so glad you're having so much life and growth in your awesome garden. Keep the photos coming! Love those persimmon tomatoes. I'm swapping seeds with a farmer here who grows heirlooms and hasn't heard of several of the varieties you sent me. I'm about to blow his mind with Aunt Ruby's German Green 😉
