Everything is taking off. The corn has tassels forming. The winter squash and pumpkins are loving the heat and the daily watering from the drip system. The carrots are forming with some as long as 6". The grasshoppers have not touched them yet for some reason. As mentioned below the grasshoppers are becoming a major threat. We will Begin picking the beans this week. It will be a battle to get as many as we can before the grasshoppers get them.

Most of the photos in this post can be enlarged.

We had new potatoes for dinner again today. Here is one of the Yukon Gold. They are out growing the others with the Burbank being the smallest at this point.
