We are still getting some small tomatos. It even looks like possibly the plants are going to survive the summer heat. We are getting some okry and banana peppers and a couple of hot peppers.

We started some seeds a few weeks ago, we now have three Ghost peppers (thanks oshkalaboomboom) sprouting and we planted three of 6 Cushaw squash sprouts. We shall see how this goes.

I’m seeing catepillars munching on azaleas here in south MS.
Anybody have a homemade cure.

Ellendra, I already started a thread, so is there a way to pull it over in to yours?

Garden is looking much better now that my plumbing issues have been corrected.

My garden is dead. I’ve been watering my orchard trees since June. Now I’m watering my mature shade trees in hopes of keeping them alive. I’ve lost one 60’ tall red oak in the yard this summer, hopefully it will be the only one.
