Great pictures! I love vacations that don't necessarily go as planned, but still are fun.

I'm with you on that, Farm! I do the same thing...sometimes it works, sometimes not. This year I will just fill in with some beans or pumpkins and let them benefit from the sunlight in the gaps.
I, too, sigh with envy at the beautifully straight rows as far as the eye can see! But then....I think about all the soil erosion, fertilizer runoff, release of carbon and all the other problems caused by that kind of farming and I begin to love my crooked little corn patch all over again, with its clover underseeding and intertwined pumpkins and beans.

FF,
you sound like me on the chores. Some of them I like, some I tolerate and some I despise.
An example would be cleaning bathrooms (despise), hanging out laundry (not bad) just so I can get to the fun stuff (gardening or mowing).
Our corn was very patchy in spots so I transplanted some. Some took, some didn't. A few days later, I just went back and dropped more seed in the big bare spots.
My watermelon and cantaloupes that I planted a few weeks ago have done nothing. They are the same size as when I set them out.
So this week I seeded 14 hills in another garden. We just tilled up the others and will plant late corn. :/

Man, Farm! Can you come to my house for a week? You sure can get a lot accomplished!!! 
My maters are not doing well yet either...but they didn't last year either during a wet period. In July they will snap out of it and be monsters, I'm sure!
My garden just did not turn out like I had planned this year....but does it ever?
