Even with neglect, a plant knows what to do. I'm only getting to the garden maybe once a week and it shows. Last week I sprayed herbicide on the weeds because they were so thick I knew I was beyond pulling or tilling them up. It looks pitiful with all that deadness, but I can at least get to most of the plants now. Started picking a few tomatoes, though I'm pretty convinced a whole bunch will ripen while we're at RMSP next week, if the 99 degree temps don't do them in first. The deer are enjoying the purple hull peas, though they left me enough to gather a big handful. Lady peas are just starting to flower. Butter beans are showing some buds. Cucumbers are flowering.
