It is 80* today! Which is a heatwave for us. Good thing we have a window ac unit that keeps our bedroom very pleasantly cooled. It's where I read and watch tv so spend plenty of time there. Mary

Bay, please don't cancel August cause that's my birthday month. Mary

Last year Praire Fire did really well for me. It's sweet and pretty! Actually all of my tomatoes did really well like Black Krim, Japanese Triefle, Dr. Whycee's Yellow, Terra Cota, and Berkeley Tie Dye. This year none of them are doing as well. Part of the problem is that I moved them...

Major, did you go back to work full time or part time? Thought you had retired. Mary

Looks purdy and you know I like purdy things haha. Mary

Major, I trim my tomatoes also to 1 leader but mid season I start to slack off. If I trim as much as you my tomatoes get sunscald. BTW I only check notifications when I'm here. Very rarely do I check What's New. I've been missing your posts. Is there a way I can see the notifications...

Ever thought of planting shade trees around your home? Or is it too dangerous with wind storms. Mary

Did you dig the silver nightshade to get the roots? Mary

You just started harvesting your zucchini? Yeah I've been picking them for a while now. Need to start shredding and freezing. But my eggplants only have flowers and jalapenos are not growing as fast or robust as in past years. Mary
