Here I am amid the sweet corn. This is the first crop, planted mid may. They are growing nicely. I've planted 5 blocks of sweetcorn, roughly 4 rows of 6 plants each with some variation, about every 2 or 3 weeks after this first batch.

| Seedlings of Purple Top Turnips, about 4 days after planting. 7.14.19 |
The purple top turnips and Chinese Radishes and Japanese Turnips all germinated very quickly. The main challenge with planting mid summer, is keeping them watered. So I water every day or every other day.
Here I am next to the summer squash, zucchini, and sauce tomato crops. For what it's worth, when out in the summer, I wear a white long sleeved shirt, that has been treated with a Rit UV blocker for UV protection, and a straw hat. It's not fashionable, but this helps with healthy skin.
