Soil testing, soil amendment, drip irrigation, and black plastic mulch, are all things I plan to do next year. The soil is the most important part, but the drip irrigation and plastic will greatly reduce the amount of maintenance required.

Well at least I am learning lessons for NEXT year...
This year the weather has been unusually wet and cold in the spring. I had to replant the soy beans twice and am finally seeing some results. But, judging from their height so far, not getting my hopes up that they will mature before the end of the season. The corn also is not as high as it should be by this time of year.

So far this year though, we have been able to enjoy a few pea pods which were surprisingly sweet. The peas bay far are the winners this year, but I have some squash, carrots, and cucumber plants that are showing some promise also.
