August Planting in NC
This weekend I started doing more preparations for fall planting. While I hate pulling plants that are still producing, I have to evaluate the quality of that produce and whether the spot would be better used for something else. Sometimes, it’s time to scrap the plant! I’m two weeks late posting this information, and there’s only two days left for a couple of the crops, but I doubt that matters too much.

Curls
Trombetta and Luffa squash vines have completely covered the teepee and surrounding fence in the garden. It’s been awhile since we’ve has squash or zucchini on our plates, so hopefully with the heat wave in the past, the vines will begin producing. My kids can hardly find a way into the teepee now, which isn’t much of a loss considering the mosquitoes have us surrounded. Seriously, going outside provides very little pleasure due to all itchy bites. The corn is…
