Glad to hear you are getting some rain this year. I am sooooo waiting on my first tomatoes this year!
Just picked a gallon of blueberries from just 3 4yr old bushes. Had to come back in because my picking bucket was full and I was being eaten alive. Danged mosquitos. Off to find bug spray. Hopefully it hasn’t gone bad since last year.
May post more later. Peppers are finally blooming and my tomatoes are getting about golf ball size. Still picking zucchinis every day and more cucumbers than I know what to do with. Little canteloupes and melons are starting to appear and my corn is silking up nicely. Sunflowers are blooming now too. Found a tomato horn worm this morning. Made hubby dispatch him. That’s HIS job. Critter and pest control are, IMHO, Y chromosome things.
I have a serious addiction to fresh tomatoes.
In the winter I drink tomato juice.
Safeway canned tomato juice I have found to be the closest to real.
Other brands are just paste with water added.
$1.65 for a 48oz can and I add my own spices..
Sure beats the price of V-8.
Have you (or anyone here) tried one of those Off contraptions you wear on your belt to repel mosquitoes? We have had so much rain and humidity compounded with 85+ degrees we have swarms of them 24 hours a day. I hate to spray down every time I walk out the door and was thinking of buying one of those things.
