It's a good time of the year when the garden starts to produce. Got a late start this season and have had to begin watering last week. The yellow straight neck squash is all that is producing now but the late planted green beans(Roma Flat Bush) will be ready in a day or two. Sweet corn and okra has a ways to go yet. Peppers and tomatoes are in raised beds that are filled with mushroom compost. Zipper Cream peas are also coming along, there are 14 rows planted next to this part of the garden. Treefarmer

Any ideas on what can be planted now that will grow and produce in this heat until the fall planting? Pretty all my stuff is dead. Only the cukes are producing. It is filtered sunlight in my garden

Okra and any of the southern peas (blakeye, purplehull, zippers, etc...) should still work up until time for fall gardens. Treefarmer

sam03, Here's a couple of pics of one of the sprinklers. Camera is acting goofy so forgive the slight blurr. The stand is made of 1'' sch. 40 pvc, there is a 1" cross that begins the stand and a 1" "T" that accepts the riser, which is about 72". The 4 legs of the stand are 12'' long, 2 opposing ones are capped and the other 2 are plumbed with a male and female hose fittings, in and out. The head is a rainbird and it has a 1/2" male end, so you have to reduce from 1" down to a 1/2" female adapter, screw on the bird and your done. I only run 3 as it will almost cover 14- 3' rows 100' long. The 2nd sprinkler is the same as the 1st with a 25' length of 5/8" water hose between the sprinklers. The one on the end has a female hose fitting one on leg and the other 3 are capped. You could do it with a hose cap that screw on rather than pvc cap just in case you wanted to add more sprinklers. You can buy similar stands already constructed that probably look a lot better, but with a can of glue and a hacksaw it's a lot cheaper to build your own. Treefarmer

just picked a whole collander full of bush beans, cherry tomatoes,cowhorn tobasco pepper and my first beefstake mater and first green bell pepper. and I only have 8-9 pots. got big plans and a large area for a much larger garden but want to set up and get some compost first. enjoy eating a cold 3 bean salad with string beans, red onion, maters, kidney beans,garlic and italian or mojo dressing. maybe some salsa this time. bush beans, a lot of leaves are turning yellow and think they are over then a couple weeks later they are loaded again. when do they die off?

deutze, Been doing it like this for years. It's just me and mamma since the kids are on their own but they don't mind taking a few jars of canned beans, a bag or two of frozen peas and a few packages of smoked sausage home with them when they come to visit. There are always folks that appreciate a mess of fresh vegetables when we have been blessed with an excess. I thought gardening would get easier when I retired, but it isn't a bit easier. It even seems like the grass grows faster than it did! Treefarmer
