Loved looking through the update. Yeah, I start my sprawly things like squash just 2 weeks before planting because they get so big so fast. Too bad about the wind! We had a drought early on in the season, and now we've gotten so much rain things are rotting everywhere. Farmers are ruining their soil trying to harvest.
But the heat and rain has made the weeds go crazy. Sigh...
Glad your persistence in watering has kept your plants doing well.
Yikes! That weather sounds horrible. We've definitely had some weird weather the last few years.
