The garden is loving all of the rain and humidity. The corn shot up probably 6 inches since I took this pic a couple of days ago.

I had some volunteer squash come up with my Ozark Giant bell peppers, decided to just let them grow and see what happens. I think the leaves will help protect the peppers from sun scald.

The pumpkins and melons are looking great too.

Also, this year I've come to terms with the fact that I will never have a garden that looks like the ones you see on TV or YouTube. I let the weeds do what they want in between the beds, and I'm ol with that.
