It was rough but had to make the choice.

I could not dedicate a garden with DH not active.
Just too much on my plate.

Totally understandable. You have your priorities correct.

no sweet corn here this year. right on schedule the tractor decided to quit. distributor
after it was fixed, time was getting short. then it rained every other day or two. got the plot ready, but it wasn't pretty. the first planting did not come up. quickly planted again. that did not come up,
I picked up all the tools and equipment and got it ready to drag down the weeds, yesterday. right on schedule, it started to sprinkle. kept it up until dark.
today i am going to drag it as best as i can.
i will drag it on and off for a few weeks and then going to plant a cover crop,. see how that goes.
otherwise the raised beds are doing great. beets, beans, peas, squash, peppers and a late planting of carrots and bib lettuce are coming up nicely.
so far the deer are leaving the beds alone. although they are sleeping in the front yard.
all types of berries are ripening. thankfully the elderberries and blackberries are holding off.
apples and plums are doing very good.
have japanese beetles here and there. Annie is keeping them at bay pretty well.
