I pulled out the last row of peas yesterday and one of two rows of beans today. The wife has picked and frozen God only knows how many quarts of each. We'll eat a few more meals of fresh green beans, then let a bunch mature for shell beans. I'll probably till up the bare dirt and throw down some forage radish seed to build the soil. our beans and peas came out last week. There is one hill of potatoes left. The dill is mature. I am sick of watering.

Been eating squash, peas and beans from the garden. Haven't dug any taters yet and waiting for the sweetcorn. Fricken skeeters are so nasty this year.

I had the first sweet corn today. Purchased from the neighbor.

I don't believe I've seen more than a dozen skeeters this year I don't think I have seen more than a couple skeeters here all year either. I guess that's one silver lining to a drought.

Looks nice. I went with the black ground cover this year for the first time. I’m liking the reduced weeds.

Somewhere on the interwebs. I bought two sections 6 or 7 years ago. We used the first piece in a different spot, and this year I moved the peppers and tomatoes to the new spot and used the second piece. I think it's 4.5 oz Sunbelt fabric. I'd have to throw a tape on it to even know how long and wide the pieces are. It was relatively cheap back when I bought the pieces. I want to say it was less than $50 for the two pieces.
