Wednesday evening we had some severe thunderstorms rumble thru our area — mostly strong winds & lightning. After all was said & done with, we had 0.4” in the gauge.

The wind gusts twisted my squash plants all up and knocked off some of my tomatoes & stems. Despite having my tomatoes in cages, I guess them being about 5 ft tall caused some of them to tip over.

All in all, we came out okay.

The yellow & zucchini have probably peaked out since temps are hot now.

Our bush beans are peaking too.

Bell peppers & cukes are keeping us well supplied.

Tomatoes are just now starting to ripen.

I dug up one potato plant and it looks like they are ready to harvest, too.

Okra is the only thing we’re waiting on.
