I got my Mrs. Wages mixes in the mail, today. More Bread & Butter and Dill Chips later in the week. Beau is proud of me that I’m taking this windfall and filling up the pantry.
Still wish it was tomatoes, though. *SOB*
Need more vinegar and sugar. Grocery & Gasoline* Run on Thursday, I’m thinking. I’m normally better prepared going into the canning season, but this Cucumber Crisis has left me flat footed. ;)
*No pickles will be made with the gasoline; that’s for the mower, NOT a new recipe! :)
My (supposedly) Golden Jubilees from Menards and the Cherry Falls have at least partially recovered from all OUR rains. The plants look good now, but the fruits are smallish. The 2 Sweet Cherry tomato plants seem pretty normal. Ditto for the Romas. Everything else (tomatoes) still seems to be catching up & not yet flowering.
The two Ichibahn eggplants are doing great, except they only produce one (really nice and big) fruit at a time, so far.
The struggling but still 15 ft.(?) long Opo cranked out one smallish fruit - smallish meaning about 18" long. That's small for an Opo, but, it's useable. It stopped getting bigger, so, I harvested it. The other Opo plant is only ~ 5 ft. long and is just barely hanging on -- I may try routing the vine back through some Miracle Grow garden soil.
