Built a new trellis on the west side of the main garden. This one is for pole green beans. Ran a drip line dedicated to that trellis. Going to mostly do bush beans this year and only one large trellis of pole beans.
Corn is coming up nicely. I went against conventional advice and planted corn near some of the tomatoes. Main rationale is that they attract some of the same insects and diseases. Hope it doesn't end badly.
Lettuce isn't bolting yet but keeping an eye out. Highs this week are around 90. Once I see a couple bolting, just going to harvest all of it en masse.
Onions seem to be doing well. Tomatoes are beginning to flower again. Pepper plants are growing but slowly. Have a few melon and pumpkin plants beginning to show.
Lots of carrots but huge numbers are in the trenches (thanks to the dogs). May have to try transplanting many of them to be able to control weeds effectively. Main drawback of transplanting I've read is they don't grow as large. However, if I don't control these weeds, going to have big problems.
