The summer of 2023 was terrible. He had half the amount of rain we were supposed to at about 8 inches for my area. Only a few specific things grew with any abundance. the hard freeze in April 2023 killed off a lot of early growth and affected just about everything including my mulberry trees and my Tree of Heavens. I'm not going to do an organized planting this year. Last year's yield was abysmal. I planted 50 corn plants, 4 grew to fruit, and I got 9 kernels of corn. This year will hopefully be better.
I plan on banging out some more IMEFs focusing on plants that are abundant in my area versus tackling the list of 150 plants alphabetically. I'm going to do them on plants I actually harvested and ate versus plants that are supposed to grow here but I haven't actually found yet.
I lost my job on the 23rd so I have time and I'll try to get another IMEF banged out here soon.
Thanks for staying tuned!
