X for the ping. Watered the garden from the barrels today, a rare need this year, the 2nd rainest July on record. Growth is good but the yearly septoria blight is increasing, despite my attempts to combat it, though in plot #2 the plants have mostly recovered. Need to do something about the front where rain pelts the plants from the roof, and where the most diseases occurs, and provide more space to prune more next year, God willing.

In the 2nd image the yellow leaves are from plants in front that were not yet pruned. But am picking rip cherry toms now, and glory to God for the fruit of labor, and for being able to do the latter!

I’m actually glad I didn’t plant tomatoes this year. They would have succumbed to the blight for sure, and I also don’t have the time.

We have a lot of other things to do to get ready for this winter, one of which is split and stack more wood and clean the wood stove and chimney.

VERY healthy looking tomato plants!
