That V-8 is the Best. Stuff. Ever! I will post the recipe for our ‘newbies’ when tomatoes start to ripen for me.
More Sungold are ready and I have four nice cukes on the vine that I will pick in the morning when I do some spot watering - before the puppies wake up and insist on ‘helping’ me. ;)
My every-day zucchini plant is HUGE, but the fruits are small. It’s got to be a lack of sun and more overcast skies when it hasn’t been raining on us all. I treated the planting hole with bone meal and crushed eggshells, so I’m not seeing any blossom end rot; they’re just slow to develop for some reason.
And, once I’m finally swimming in zucchini, I’ll be complaining about that, too! ;)
I’d gladly take some of your rain if you’d send it southeast. Not a drop in two weeks, with highs around 90 and high humidity. Mr. Ranger has been watering the tomatoes and we have lots of green ones. The rest of the garden has to make do with morning dew. Next chance for rain won’t be until mid-week.
The good news is the beans are blooming and the corn stalks are still green and growing. The potato plants have died off, but that’s normal. I’ll check in the morning to see if I can dig enough for a mess of creamed potatoes.:)
