Found three tomato hornworms overall so far this week and drowned them all. Destructive. *(&#@^$@s.

Still I’m getting enough to can some stewed tomatoes up for the year.

Still VERY dry. It’s going to cool off a bunch but the drought is holding everything back. I need to water regularly, which has been hard for this horrific month mr. mm and I have been enduring. (He’s had shingles, and I’s still struggling with my own health issues.

Still I’ll get the rest of the onions pulled, and start working on processing the garlic now that its dried out for 3 weeks.

The onion crop was a disappointment. The ones that continued to grow did much better. A more acceptable size.

The carrots are starting to come up. Lettuce is doing OK and Zucchini is producing some.

Hopefully, next year will be better.
