That's a lot of potatoes. You probably don't even need to ask what is for dinner every night since it is meat and potatoes. I stand corrected. It is 160, not 180. Still.

Watered the garden earlier this a.m. for the second time. It looks like most everything my wife planted is up and growing. I moved the sprinkler to the tomato/pepper patch to get the ground below the landscape cloth good and soaked. We picked up peppers and tomatoes yesterday. I think my wife will get them planted today or tomorrow. Next week looks like great garden growing weather (as long as you can keep them watered).

I've been watering my garden this week as well. The tomatoes and peppers we planted last week are all still alive and should start growing well with the hot weather coming.
I've also added a bunch more asparagus this year since I forgot how much I like them. I'm hoping to have a few really big patches in coming years since I enjoy having them a couple times per week this time of year.

Our radish seed is old and not germinating as it should. The wife ran to town figuring some store would have some...nope. Everybody is sold out. We've had that happen the last couple years with other seeds too. Amazon has all kinds of radish seeds. I guess Amazon gets our money again.

If the wind lets up, I hope to plant a few tomatoes tonight. Maybe early morning would work to plant them but I hope to catch a walleye about then.

Early radishes are excellent. Mine aren't very big yet, but it doesn't seem to take long for them to get big enough to eat. My tomatoes and peppers are loving this heat as long as I can keep them watered.

We picked a few radishes Monday. My tomatoes/peppers are growing pretty well. Something cut some leaves on my kohlrabi. Maybe cut worms.

We ate a couple kohlrabi's this week, and had our first batch of swiss chard. We've eaten a few sweet hungarian peppers the last couple weeks. They're not very tasty IMO. Lots of tomatoes turning yellow out there. Pretty soon we'll be eating tomatoes at every meal

That’s an impressive garden. I probably won’t be posting any pictures of my garden any time soon after seeing that picture.
What do they use for fertilizer?

He just uses very minimal fertilizer. He gets a 5 gallon bucket each of urea, phosphorus (MAP?) and potash. Mixes them up on his own.
