Thanks for the ping. I have not posted for a while due to being active in other things, but the good news is that dozens of toms have been harvested, and more will be, by the grace of God.

However, I think I need a much longer season if I am going to drastically prune the Septoria(?) blight, as I have been partly doing, and did earlier with plants that first showed it before setting fruit. Sprayed with copper fungicide weekly, but that did not seem to do much with most, perhaps too to being too crowded and with too much foliage.

Beautiful morning ... the last day of the ‘hint of fall’ weather as the heat comes back in for tomorrow. It was cool enough last night that the temp inside the house dropped a couple of degrees.

Sitting on the front porch with a good cup of coffee - trying a new brand from Aldi’s & it’s tasty. The neighbor just texted she can see the white deer in our back pasture. Speaking of deer, my brother came over last night & got dad’s tree stands off the garage wall so I have room for new shelves. Dad loved being in the woods & hunting was just an excuse to spend the day in a tree stand. The last stand he used was one he could sit in with comfy cushions & it had rails on it so even if he fell asleep (which he admitted he did), he couldn’t fall out of it ... great stand for old men & narcoleptics.

College football games are on today - once the weather got too hot for dad to go outside, he had to endure the summer doldrums of no interesting sports on cable until college football ... he would have been happy today.

I will be humming Jimmy Buffet tunes on the mower this weekend - he passed away last night with who & what he loved around him. His music isn’t for everyone, but I have enjoyed it over the years. RIP JB.

Well, the white deer & two does are now walking down the fence line in view of the porch. Mom just jumped the fence over to the neighbor’s property & the 2 smaller deer are trying to figure out how to get to the other side - they are evidently not fence jumpers yet. They finally went around the end of the fence at the road, fortunately at a time no cars were going by, so they are back with mom.

Time for a refill .... have a wonderful day, everyone.
