Doc Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Our garden is so waterlogged that even the weeds won't grow ..... lol. Things are starting to dry out a bit now, but I think it is too late to save much of anything. The rain delays kept me from tilling the ground and planting until well into June. I stubbornly still planted it but the growing season has been perfect for seed rot and drowning of root systems. We might get some tiny beets and carrots, and if we are lucky, some of the squash may actually develop ...... maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Doc this Persian carpet weed that invaded us years aggo ..you could burn it, flood it, cover it with a tarp and it will still grow ...only good thing about it is the roots are massive, but shallow ...easy to pull.and shake off soil..but it robs the soil big time. billions of seed and every single tissue roots when tilled This has been a tough season..replanted beans 4 times and man are my tomato plants are so short...so is my corn and peppers. That said..they are producing great fruit on them though..Also..the farmers corn field is only half as tall as it usually is this time of year. Oh my vine plants...just started to spread and flowering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
