Hey!

Glad your mom is doing better and glad you get a week off.!

Are the yellow pears great or what?! LOL You can keep seed from those as they are an heirloom variety. Just make sure they weren’t planted near another type of mater so they don’t cross pollinate. :)

Turned off hot and dry here so the LIAMs are faring rough. :(

We put up @ 30 qts of green beans and hubby said no more. :) I’ve got peanuts, field peas, butter beans @ to bloom. Squash and zukes and cukes fizzled out. Maters are so-so.

Have a great 4th!

I’m definitely saving the seed from these tomatoes!!! I also planted them far away from the hybrids like you advised. I started a bunch and shared them with a lot of people, and still have a lot for me.

My basil you sent is also growing well, although I haven’t harvested any. I made a special bed for herbs, and have all the different kinds you sent growing.

My LIAMS are not doing well this year, except the ones I’ve had in the ground for a few years. This is the first year I have not had EVERY seed I planted come up.

The few I have — I’ll harvest more seeds from, and hope to get more.

Wish I had the space to grow butter beans, they are my favorite!!!
