Hi all, we were hit in west Michigan with a big heat wave 90 degrees plus all week. Today was the last day, at 3pm it was 95 with a heat index of 105. It was all I could do to keep the garden watered I’d go out at 8 or 9pm. Hubby doing better, in home nurse 3X a week and the same with PT. Doing well on meds for the infection and blood clot. SO glad I got him in to the ER when I did. Picking some cukes, lots of banana peppers, jalapenos, zucchini, and broccoli secondary growth. Lots of green tomatoes. My 6 varieties of russian tomatoes are all doing great. Hubby can’t get down to the garden to pee for the deer but hey - in the hospital they gave him a portable urinal so guess what I take out to the garden in the evening. Life all works out eventually. Lots of green tomatoes. My 6 varieties of russian tomatoes are all doing great. Still haven’t taken the pictures out of my garden, maybe this weekend.
PS - I appreciated learning about the male/female zucchini flowers on one of these threads and I am having a good harvest this year. Also I have not seen a tomato worm yet this year and I have over 20 plants. Of course now that I said that I’ll go down there tonight and find a bunch. Hate those things. Also wanted to share my 2 favorite smells from the garden #1 is the smell of a fresh picked banana pepper. I mean a good long hit. :)) #2 is the smell of a tomato plant’s foliage. Many thanks again for those who wrote and prayed for my hubby.

LOL. I took all that stuff from my dad’s last hospital visit, and washed it all in bleach, and packed it away in a banker’s box.
I figured it might come in handy sometime.LOL
Glad things are progressing well with you and yours.
