Made a mistake and bought a sprinkler with a built-in manual timer. Kids were supposed to reset each day but didn't happen so dirt on the main garden is pretty dry after last week's weather. Plants with good roots pulled though ok, but smaller plants struggled. Had 3 variety of potatoes planted. The red potatoes, which were just out of range of the neighboring sprinkler all died while the next few hills of the next variety are still barely kicking. The 3rd variety looks fairly healthy still. First sweet corn planting starting to tassel. Seeing some coon tracks on the fabric around the garden so time to break out the traps to protect the patch.
