34 days inbetween
Mulberry tree put on some solid growth earlier this summer. Squash are up and crawling. Echinacea didn’t make it, but I have new seedlings ready to go any day.
Kousa dogwood is slow to grow, not sure what’s going on. Ground cherry doing well. Underplanted with some beans just for fun and they’re popping up nicely. Strawberry plant is massive, and pumping out a few strawberries per day.
