My bright side is that the Sunsugar are definitely less prone to splitting then Sungold. Haven’t looked at them yet after today’s downpours. I’ll go do that now.

That and I’m overloaded with shisito which is unsurprising since I bought something like 16 of those $1.50, 12”+ plants. Guess I’ll broil up a half a dozen for a snack here shortly. Will do a second batch, fridge them and see how good they are after nuking for 10 seconds or so at work tomorrow.

Ok, I’m back. Not a single split. Even though we had near two weeks of no rain, I kept things well watered because of having direct sowed some things so I imagine that helped.

Ate 5 ripe Sunsugar. Got one Supersonic that’s almost ripe and not split.

The clayey ground is like a sponge to walk on.

Our lawn is ‘spongy’ too. And I ate 2 Sunsugar tomatoes this morning and by afternoon when I was done mowing, I had a third. Happy, Happy! :)

We ended up with NO rain today - a MIRACLE! I actually had to spot water some hanging baskets and plants in pots!

We might actually have THREE days in a row with no rain! Ya-Hoooo!

I can actually feel the MOLD & MILDEW drying and flaking off of me! :)

We are eating shishitos neatly every day. I do plan on making that shishito sauce and freezing a few containers. Nothing better on a steak or chicken. I think it was your recipe or maybe Pete’s. They are great chopped small raw in a mixed salad.
