A neighbor down the street just had zoysia put in and it's looking great (albeit they've been watering it...). Does anyone here have experience with zoysia? If so, how do you like it and where'd you get it? Did you go with plugs or sod? Thanks!

I harvested my first cucumber (burpless) yesterday and quickly made it an addition to my salad. Bush beans are ready for picking. Tomatoes are surprisingly slow to produce but the basil is looking good. Cantaloupe vines with flowers are reaching out of the beds and I am probably going to have more than enough for ten families this summer. Will trade for yellow squash when they are ready. Sweet banana peppers are starting to show and Jalapeno are close behind. I am only watering every other day for 3-5 minutes from the sprinklers. Hope yours is hanging in the heat. Thanks.
