The garden of drunken master

Well, it's finally in. . . mostly.
We finished off the last of the beds in the garden yesterday. It was nearly 90 degrees. Still no rain! i have no idea what on earth is going on, needless to say climate change is my number one suspect. The rows, as usual, are a bit. . .well. . .unique. Not so straight if you will.
We are a little under fifty percent planted. Today the kids are going to get a Ag/Science class as we plant the rest of the garden. We didn't till in the "new" beds for the mellons, so they will just have to be planted in the "old" garden plot. i had to rework the layout last night, and minus having room for a second planting of corn i am pretty pleased with it.
OOOOOH, yeah!! We also got one of the water tanks up and filled (mostly). We have been borrowing water from the river. The other tank is across the street at the neighbors. He has more corn in than we do, and we have already discussed swapping come the harvest. i love the spring/summer/autumn. i just hope we get some rain soon!!
