Its tomato season...and my tomatoes are doing awesome. So awesome I"m going to have to make some tomato sauce in the next 48 hours before the tomatoes start to go bad. Last year by this point the tomatoes had picked up a blight or something and stopped production - it was cool weather related. This summer has been a polar opposite with hot and humid the norm. (Yes I"m looking forwrard to cool and dry weather!)
My roma tomato is doing super - have about 2 pints ready to freeze or make into sauce. The grape tomato is sending out lots of fruit. The one heirloom tomato tastes SO good in BLT's. Oh, and check out the size of the fruits on this plant! Wonder what variety it is. I just harvest off the other tomato. Its a red tomato and was laying on its side this morning thanks to last nights wind and the heavy fruit on the plant. Need to get it staked up better tonight.
My pole beans are blooming...well what is left of them is in bloom. The japaneese beetles enjoyed eating them in July so the only vines with fruit on them are the ones that were stragglers in growing.
The peppers also look good. I just brought in a red sweet pepper and the first 2 habaneros in a couple of years. Not to find a kid safe place to keep them.
