Just a quickie tonight. We picked these on Tuesday, and we have doubled the amount since then. Black Krim, Golden Girl, Grenn Zebra, cherry, and Roma tomatoes.

Cukes are going crazy! Oh yeah - 105°F In the Texas Hill Country. Durn! That's Baghdad HOT!

OOOooooo nice homegrown produce pics there. My little suburban garden is doing ok. The Juliet tomato plant is producing pretty good and the Early Girl is nice and tall, lots of blooms but not many maters popping out so far. Now its 100 plus degrees in DFW so they may stall a bit. The green beans were leafy but very few pods. Cilantro and arugula have long bolted but I’m still eating on whats left of them in the salads. Next year I will put the tomatoes in with healthy plants by mid April and try to beat the summer heat. I have some partial shade back there from trees and its a good thing I think. I don’t miss living in NY but the summer temps are much more favorable vs here but I’ll adapt accordingly with the garden.

Were these from the Hoop House? Oh, we screened my keyhole garden day before yesterday and the soil temp was 93 degrees, my friend keyhole was 113 (this garden wasn’t screened) and her other keyhole garden in her back yard semi under a tree was 88 degrees. These gardens are very interesting. I’m going to tear down my 16’x4’x2’ high and put in 3 keyhole gardens, they are so easy to maintain. I’m going to put some red wigglers in one.
