Here in TX we seem to be drying out. Two weeks of baking, then a week of rain. My poor garden doesn’t know what to think. Pulled up most of my tomatoes. I have some cukes, a lemon boy, and some peppers that are doing okay. Of my six cucuzza plants, of which I thought I would be drowning in cucuzza, I have had a grand total of two. My pollinators are few and far between this year. Hope the fall garden will do better.

Our tomatoes seem to be burning up. The longest lines are still alive so I expect we”ll be into garden fresh,

We’re getting ready to put in our fall and winter veggies.
Tomorrow we’ll be pulling the plants that have quit producing fluffing up the soil, adding rabbit pellets, some grass clippings and put in some seeds, like cukes, snow peas, beans, collards, kale, mustard greens, etc.

Like your garden, some of ours got a little confused too. It was hotter’n blue blazes, then gully washing rain. We got over 7 inches in just a couple of days.

We still have Armenian cukes, have over run every on in town with them. Tomorrow they’ll become part of the compost hill.

The weather can be brutal for gardens. I am hoping to get some fall and winter stuff going.
