RVP-Alive and well... Kinda
This post expired on July 26, 2023.
Well it is late July and the windows in the house are open and it is 69 degrees. That is not usual for these parts. It is usually still in the upper 80’s at least! Now if we could get some rain, it would be nice. We are finding new ways to miss it. One of these days, it will be ours again!
Due to being completely overwhelmed, #3 girl earned a trip to the ER for a possible broken nose on Wednesday during the market and #5 is in the hospital now with cough and possible whooping cough, I am going to keep the market closed for awhile so I don’t have more issues to deal with. Everyone is better now, but we have to get these family issues fixed up. I will still be attending market, but I am just out of time.
I thought I would share some pics of our later crops. Our earlier crops are producing, but they are nothing to look at. Many weeks of picking and neglected weeding has made them look bad. Here is the nice looking stuff!
2nd and 3rd plantings of tomatoes and 2nd planting of peppers.
4th planting of Tomatoes, they look awesome!
Late Cherry Tomatoes, kinda scrawny but they are growing like weeds!
Sweet Potatoes
A later planting of sweet potatoes
Okra, not producing yet
Melon Patch

Watermelon, We only grow personal sized ones
Cantaloupe, personal sized again. We have so many people who grow huge melons. I didn’t want to compete, so I created my own niche market. Always sold out last year, hope it happens again this year.
Story of the last two months, this is beside one of the sweet potato patches.
Thanks,
Jay
