I have planted Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Orange Oxheart, Brandywine, Sunny Boy, Boxcar Willie and a couple of hybrids...

Watering with collected rainwater and supplementing with compost tea.

My tomato starts are still inside because the temps are still too cold at night. Maybe in a couple weeks if I can hold off that long.

I put out some squash last week but I think the cold finally got them last night. I just want to try to get a jump on the squash bugs. I’ve never gotten a zuke and only a few yellow squash in all these years. I should just give it up but don’t want to go down defeated by a little bug.

Did you plant out doors or are you starting seeds indoors?

The cold night didn’t get them the last few nights? We are going to wait a few more days till warm nights return. We have 31* forecast for tonight, then warming after that.

How well does Brandywine do in the Houston heat?

We are in Conroe.
