Revised the irrigation in the back yard. Now more zones, so pressure remains stronger and more constant. Grass and ornamentals on one zone and main garden on a separate zone. Front yard remains on it's own zone. Each is now set with a separate timer.
Picked the first true corn crop of the year today. Haven't cooked or shucked any of it. Not really sure how good it is yet. Some is under-formed with blank spaces. Though some ears are a really decent size. Best I've had here so far.
Another crop will be ready in a week or two and two more crops coming in sometime later. Left the stalks in place but may pull those up in 2-3 weeks, allow more sunlight through as weather cools. Put up some trellises in their place. Or just trim off the leaves.
Had a small tomato harvest today. About 6 tomatoes. More forming and others still ripening. Tried one of these and they taste awesome! However, looks like a thin year for tomatoes, since so many plants died off. Be better next year.
