More progress

I now have 6 rows of weed mat down; then i ran out of pins.  But it's good enough for now.  2 rows of T-posts are up, and I started twining rows 1 and 2.   Plants are moderately healthy and intermittent rain has been good.  For mulch, I got 6 straw bales which was overkill...I thought last year I got 4 bales so I thought "Better get more just in case".  Turns out I got 2 bales last year... 6 bales is a LOT. 2-3 bales is plenty to mulch 100 plants thoroughly.  These are big bales. I brought 2 home and still have about a bale and a half left at the garden.

At the home garden the plants are looking fine, and setting flowers.  I think it is about 1 to 2 weeks behind last year's schedule.
