Dipping into the lower 90s and upper 80s in Texas. Brrr, chilly! I thought the tomatoes would be producting more in the cooler weather but they’re not. Something ate my peas and most of the various greens. The squash have blossoms so maybe I finally get some this year - knock on wood.

LOL! Chilly?! Is that so?! We're looking at a chance of snow this weekend...

My flower garden here in Texas is really appreciating the cooler temps and the rain we have gotten lately. I can’t believe that in a few weeks I will have to rip them all out to start planting my bulbs and pansies.

Well, we do have a pretty nice crop of green tomatoes now, but sadly we are running out of warm enough weather for them to develop well. Hence the pruning.

I will leave some outside for now under row covers. But when frost comes, they will all have to be carted into the house.

My watermelon and Iraquois melons started growing like gangbusters, but it is running out of the summer season too. I have been picking off the blossoms, and just hoping the ones that are already developed can finish ripening before frost.
