That shower really germinated a lot of weeds. I had my cantaloupe and watermelons totally weed free before the rain.
I hoed them all again tonight lifting each vine out of the way and training them to head in the direction I want them to grow. Hopefully they stay weed free for long enough to choke out any that come again.
My sweet corn is really liking the rain and it’s just starting pollination. Won’t be long now.

These sugar beets got a couple nice rains the rest of them didn’t. They are looking pretty nice now.
We have been very fortunate and all of our sugar beets have gotten at least some rain now.
The temperature has cooled off a bit and getting heavy dew’s again. The beets are loving it but so do the diseases. So far it looks like they are staying pretty healthy though.

Bj, the weeds around your cucumbers look like purslane, pick and make ya a salad ;D Big money for purslane at hi end yuppy stores. Crops look good for as dry as it's been. Bob

Good eye Outback.
I do eat it sometimes but nobody else in family has tried it yet.
I’m afraid the yuppies wouldn’t like mine. It’s not organic.
My mom always called it cancer weed. She didn’t know what it was but no matter what she did with it. It came back. I got wheelbarrows full if you want it.
