Mine are doing well. (I did find a Southern Armyworm chewing on a tomato today and I dispatched him/her>) They do seem to have more problems with being knobby and misshapen, it does not affect taste, but there is more waste than I would like. I do not have any cucumbers. They do not seem to like my Garden, the heat, and all the Cucumber beetles.

These tomatos were picked today. Washed and drying on the counter. (Varieties; Sweet 100, Black Krim, Annannas Noire, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Pineapple, Thorburns Terracotta. I do NOT vine ripen. It invites animal and insect damage. I pick at at color break and ripen inside.)

Tomatos I previously picked that have mostly ripened.

I baked a good loaf of sourdough bread. The flour was from Natural Grocers, "White Strong Bread Flour" and some "White whole Wheat Flour". Something good to go with the tomatos!)

This was the recipe which I mostly followed.

Grant bakes, good sourdough bread

Nice Tomatoes! Mom is staying over for a few days, so I am putting her to work. We will make one last attempt at fertilizing the tomatoes and peppers, and when I was mowing yesterday I saw one toppled tomato tower that needs some help!

Hoping she’s willing to help me make Bread and Butter Pickles, too. Maybe tomorrow - the HEAT IS ON starting then - we have ONE NICE DAY to play outside, then it’s IN for a few weeks to come - other than going out to water.

From one extreme to the other. Ugh!
