I don't think I'll get time to mulch, but nevermind, the garden has taken off like nobody's business. I'll post pics when I get a chance. I've already harvested some beautiful squash and it looks like there will be a bumper crop. Lots and lots of tomatoes on the vine, cucumbers that will be ready by the weekend probably, some of the okra is still scraggely but coming along. Eggplant and peppers flourising, lots of blooms on the melons and the pumpkins are amazing! We've had plenty of sun alternated by drenching rains and the stuff is growing so fast I think if you sat out and watched it you could almost see it happening.

The lettuce has mostly bolted with the heat, and will be bitter. Also I'm going to harvest the rest of the peas this weekend. Now, when I remove the lettuce and the peas I'll have some extra space. What kind of hot weather veggies could I plant in order to utilize that space? I was thinking of more okra, because I know it likes hot weather...
