End of Broccoli Season And More Summer Sowing

Pulled up all the Broccoli today.  Was a long Broccoli season this year.  The broccoli was excellent all season and there were no problems at all with growing.  None of the bugs we would occasionally find last year. 

Sowed Purple Hull Cowpeas in their place.  Should end up with lots of cowpeas.  The variety is suppossed to be much sweeter and more flavorable than blacked eyed peas and other varieties.  We'll see.  First time growing cowpeas, excited to see how they turn out.

Also planted much more Swiss Chard, as well as, Summer Crooked Neck Squash, and Serrano Peppers.

Garden space is officially full save for two access points.  Brussel Sprouts are still doing well and I hope they make it.  That will be the next space to become available but it may be too hot to plant anything at that time except more Okra.

All of the Watermelon and Old Tennesse Melon have sprouted and are looking good.
