It was another hot week here in Central Missouri. Yesterday morning a front blasted through and we got a little bit of rain. There was another one on its tail that hit this morning. Heavy rain and lots of lightning for a couple hours then it was gone.

Green beans are producing nicely now. Beets are ready. Okra, collards, turnip, and rutabaga that were planted last week are out of the ground and looking good. I’m getting a few tomatoes from the three plants that survived the June monsoon. Summer squash is still rocking. Cucumbers are about ready to fold from the heat.

Augie, are you in zone 6 or 6b?

You could try rooting some suckers off your remaining tomatos in water and seeing if you can get them in the ground and growing enough to get a few tomatoes before end of September. Just a thought. (Good luck!)
