July Update!


Well it looks like my tomatoes are runnng just about the same as last year. I just spotted lots of Druzba, Big Girl and Lemon Boy fruits. Probably have been there all week, which is even with last year. We got 2.8" of rain in June; even less then the 3" predicted. We average 4" for June.
Looks like Moonglow are really prone to early blight and Stupice really loves being grown in straw. Both plants in straw bales are doing great.

August Update!


July was another dry month and sure had hot days, but with humidty. Unfortunately, it also had cool nights with lots of dew. Plants are full of early blight. Worse in years. Some are near the point of losing all their leaves.

We had 3.5" of rain! I picked my first tomatoes from a plant in a bag (Husky Cherry) on July 14th. I just got my first one from garden August 3rd.. While this isn't the latest I have ever got, it will be a very minimal year.
