We have been getting a few peppers, cukes, squash, and tomatoes. The tomatoes though all have some mushy spots.

I only planted one tomato plant this year, and a horn worm got it, so hubby’s tomatoes are the ones we are getting.

Last year he plant about a hundred and got nada. I planted 2 from Walmart, and had cherry tomatoes all summer long. Luck of the draw. LOL

I had one tomato splitting - good size too.

Brought it in - hope it ripens indoors - should anyways

I hope

Somebody gave a squash that looks like a club - it is huge - about 8 or 10 times the size of store stuff.

my tomatoes are okay....nothing spectacular...

here in Eastern Washington we're having one of our typical very dry summers, no substantial rain since early June...thank God we've got a good aquifer....

but, we're had garlic, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, a few cukes, and we have a few onions, pink banana squash, trombone squash, and egg plant coming along nicely....hope they finish developing before we get too cool.. Peppers too....

also we'll dig up the potatoes in a few weeks...corn, not so good, but we'll have a few ears...

and hops....boy do we have hops...

One tomato variety (five plants in one raised bed) is a goner. Disease, 100 degree weather, cool nights...I don’t know what killed them.
But the Romas are still kicking out four or five a day. A month ago, it was a dozen every day...
