I've got half an acre of wild Hibiscus I'm gonna do some separating this fall and caver a couple acres
Some of these plants are very tall some over 6 feet tall 
Better late than never.
Really nice photo heavy post so far.
We are thinking of putting collards in a row where the mutant okrys did nothing, and some cushaw squash in the big bed where we have a few openings. Also some ghost peppers in containers. And take cuttings from our tomatos for a fall crop.
We are still getting a few small tomatos and plenty of banana peppers, along with some okry everyday. Wife has a quart ziploc bag full on Cajun Delight, and about half that much Jade.
Tomorrow I start refurbishing the back porch. It has been enclosed by some jackleg know-nothing and is in terrible shape. I am going to rip out a long wall and make a screened porch. Hopefully, that is. I will have to learn to make screens. My one experiance rescreening a door once resulted in my trashing the screen door! But I have backup plans B & C!
Blaupeas produced just enough to return the seed planted. Voles began attacking the carrots, so had to harvest all of them; winds lodged the purple onions, so they didn’t fully mature, but the Walla-Wallas are doing good. Also, 28 of the rescued Egyptian onions are up. Oddly, the Brussels sprouts are growing well, as is the broccoli; cool season cole crops standing up to 3-4 weeks of 100+ heat without bolting?!?
2 small Purple Cherokee tomatoes have ripened on one hanging vine, though the rest of the hangers have a lot of green ones; the garden vines are pretty much a bust, a are the peppers & eggplants.
Squashes, summer & winter; and the green beans are still iffy, from too many days of triple digits, though the pole beans are doing fine.
The Painted Hill & the white super-sweet corn: both barely knee high or less & tasseling. The Serendipity is now waist high, or slightly over, and only a very few just starting to form tassels.
Potatoes are starting to die from maturity, rather than deficiencies, pests or disease; and the few plants I’ve harvested still had plenty of soil moisture, and produced decent tubers, though not abundantly. Even generously over estimating expenses, and lowballing the harvest, that comes in at less than 15 cents/pound for all Yukon Golds we can eat & preserve, and still leave plenty for friends & the food bank.
OTOH, despite not only the large fire that was near us, we had 3 others, up to 12 acres in size, within a half mile of us, and didn’t suffer any damages or losses, so counting our blessings.
We are just back from another trip to CA to take care of some of my mother’s business. She suffered a broken leg in mid May and has been in rehab ever since. We’ll be going back in about 3-4 weeks.
I planted nothing this year — didn’t even complete weeding my beds. It’s lucky that I did that because the drought here has been terrible. Nothing would have survived because nobody would have been here to water, and there has been no rain.
But, it RAINED today. And a little bit Wed. night. And a little bit Thurs. morn. I’ll just be planning new plantings for when I have the time and the weather is more cooperative.
I have been in Fresno, CA, and the weather there was dreadful — triple digits every day. Our car registered 113 one day.
There was a study group of Southeastern Cotton Farmers in our hotel one morning, and I thought of you. They were there to study how Fresno farms cotton. I dunno — Fresno irrigates. In the past they have depended on a chain of man made lakes and dams to make the water last throughout the dry season which lasts from April to October. I don’t know what folks from other parts of the country are going to learn from that — folks who depend on rain and who have unexpected floods. Especially since the government now wants to take the water away from the California farmers.
Yes, please! I’d like to be on the list! I’ve done a bit of plinking at gardening over the years, but I consider myself a newby.
Is that a deer stand at the end of your bean field?
