Whew, know what you mean about the high temps today. Please don’t let this summer be like last year! I was on the road this morning and with the new leaves, it’s becoming more evident (like we didn’t already know) how many trees died last summer. We’re still, and years from now, only a tossed cigarette away from a brush fire.
Something cut two of my tomatoes off right at the soil. I haven’t seen any worms or ants but it’s a clean cut. WARNING - hell hath no fury like a gardener with damaged tomatoes, grrr!
Everything else seems happy. I had bought some organic delicata and sweet dumpling squash last year at the store and saved the seeds. Their little sprouts are doing fine so we’ll see if and what they’ll produce.
The service guy this morning was impressed with the garden and was asking what this and that plant was. Patting myself on the back. The big thing has been working on the over abundance of weeds. Never seen the like of weeds so have been hoeing and pulling this week so it’s looking good... for now. Of course, fingers crossed it doesn’t burn up in the heat like last year’s garden.
I don’t know the name of the weed, but has small leave and it sticks to everything. I’ve been pulling it up, everywhere. I’ve never seen so much before and thistles, everywhere. I had a devil of a time getting a thistle out of my english ivy.
