It has been raining here in Northern Florida for a week straight! I am a little more than sick of it… 
Parts of my yard are flooded.
Today was the first day I was able to go out and take some pics without getting completely soaked…so here are a few updates.
I harvested my garlic today…its bottom leaves were looking really brown and slimy. The garlic on the right is elephant garlic and the ones of the left are regular garlic. Each was grown from store bought garlic. They are now drying in the spare bathroom. It is still raining out, so I couldn’t let them dry outdoors.
Just a size comparison for ya!
Sweet potatoes are loving this rain. They are about a foot tall right now.
I got curious…so I shucked one of the popcorn cobs…most of the kernels were pollinated! I don’t think this was quite ready so I chucked it in the compost pile.
My first yellow squash in starting to grow, hopefully the squash bugs won’t get it.
Peppers galore…I need to find a recipe for stuffed peppers. I think that’s what I will use some of the Gypsy peppers for.
Peanut plants have blooms on them!!! I’m not sure how tall the plants are supposed to get…but these can’t be any taller than 5 or 6 inches.
I also harvest about 6 lbs of tomatoes today…some of them were cracking from all the rain. The fungus is spreading and this nasty weather is not helping matters. I could run out there and put neem oil on them, but it would be washed away in 20 minutes I will see what I can do when this weather gets better.
Do you hill your potatos periodically? Mine are growing great in our sandy soil, at least I know I’ll get something!
I planted mine in a trench then filled it in as they grew. I planted early potatoes that only put out one layer of potatoes though. Yukon gold and red potiac.
Good, that’s what I did too.
Update………Update!!!
