I finally gave and dug the majority of my onions, leaving the multiplying onions and the white onions we planted as bulbs. The deer have pretty much decimated the pintos and green beans in my back pasture garden, eating them before they are mature enough to pick, and nibbling on the leaves while they are at it. My popcorn is tasseling out, yellow corn has a few tufts of silk showing. I figure on replanting yellow squash and zukes today, while the moon is right, replant potatoes later in the month. Melons seem to be getting larger, but no sign of a cantaloupe, yet.
Duke, like you mentioned, my crop of weeds are doing fine. Too bad the deer have not developed a taste for them, or the thistles that my sister imported in some of the hay she bought for her horse. She tried a variation of Round Up on them, and they loved it, growing profusely, as if she had fertilized them. I keep my oldest and thinnest hoe really sharp so I can shave between the plants and between the rows to keep them under some kind of control.
