A Stormy Night

June 23rd, 2015
 We had a night of storm and high winds that left some of our corn and other tall crops blown over and damaged, I ended up chopping off the tall, bent stalks on our mustard greens and Pac Choy (Oriental greens), and adding compost around the bent stalks of corn to prop them up. I then carted about 15 buckets of dirt to the front berm and shored that up with some more dirt, plus weeded and trimmed that area.

We discovered a baby zucchini on our fastest growing plant, lovingly named "Big Papa". Then, we harvested a handful of snow peas and large bundle of catnip herb (not pictured). Below, you can see the large broccoli we plan to harvest next week and our corn after being straightened and supported with more soil. This week, I plan to weed more and mulch with the additional straw we have, plus hill the potato plants with more compost.
