Wow, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I put up a post here. The summer has really been passing by quickly. Gardening for me this year has been very minimal. Extreme weather all but eliminated the planting season in the spring and more extreme weather prevented replanting for the third time. Only the hardiest of plants survived the onslaught of weather. The summer has been unseasonably cool. It’s great for living with 80-degree days and 60-some-degree nights but not so good for warm weather gardening. The focus for me has been on garden structure and not so much on gardening this year.

The fence construction continues. The last fence panel is now up, which is not shown in this photograph and the last side of the garden will start being enclosed this next week. I’m not going to complete the fence before the corn is ready this year so I suspect the sweet corn will be raccoon food again this year. I’m confident that the fence will be completed before the ground freezes in October, which will make for a great garden next year.
