Don't know about mistreatment but all the rain we had in June really did taste damage to my Romas, tasteless and pithy. I am still getting some Celebrity and heirloom but the full heat and dryness of the summer is upon us and it's a scramble to keep things alive. The best surprise are figs. The tree I put in 4 years ago still looks pathetic but so far I've harvested 4 and they are not only tasty but about the size of small pears.
Mrs. Texan is back in the hospital for the third surgery on her leg this time to treat an infection. Prayers are most appreciated.

Prayers up for the Mrs. Good to hear that the figs are doing well. Hubby just came in and said that the Almond tree is loaded, but the squirrels are picking them green, taking a bite, and throwing them down.
Gonna have to cover them up. Reminds me, I still have peaches to go over and pick, if there are any left.

I didn’t know about water and tomato taste. Nor anything about blight. Having escaped Mexifornia, I didn’t know about rain ;) So my plants look naked on the bottom since I stripped off the yellowed leaves and am spraying what’s left with fungicide.
