Corn and broccoli look fantastic! Timely planting sure makes a difference, so does ones soils. Mine never got in until sometime just before the summer solstice, but I've been working the small patch starting last fall with the addition of some nice compost I made over the years. This spring I tilled in 2 green manure crops, one a carpet of pigweed that reminded me of alfalfa the way it looked and the last a mix of whatever came up. Planted, then mulched with a thick layer of dried like hay grasses from the (unsprayed)lawns, tomatoes took right off, broccoli doing well, and the rest will be good. I've been eating greens from the lettuce patch for 2 weeks now, also have space to replant new greens when the older plantings get too mature. I'll bet you'll do well again this year.
Bell peppers and egg plant, both with about the same soil requirements, conditions, seem difficult to get to grow like the rest of the plants in my garden, though I've had some great bell pepper harvests, its always right at the end. I have photos of picking yellow and red bell peppers with a coating of wet snow in mid October(which insulated the plants and they still kept going). I've dealt with the soil and nutrients too. Bell peppers just don't seem to grow as fast, but eventually can fill out into nice little trees with thick stalks, just too late, but if you had more growing time they would produce a bumper crop. I think I'll transplant a few of the best ones of this year and start new ones early for next season. I know one guy who plants in December for next seasons garden, he says it works quite well for him.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
