I probably could have a few more but I'm not super diligent at resetting traps out there. But, I'm making progress. Lost two decent maters to something in the last week. That really hot blast last week turned off tomato production, kinda like it does every year it seems. But this cool spell has things perking back up. John
ness Posted Tuesday at 01:23 AM Posted Tuesday at 01:23 AM Well, I broke my ankle on 9/11 so I've had to stay off it as much as possible. The garden got away from me pretty badly - didn't keep the tomatoes pruned or treated and it was a tangled mess with a lot of disease. There were a few small, hard tomatoes and probably 100 or more cherries. We did get a freeze Sunday morning. Thermometer, which is about 10 feet above ground near the garden,  read 27 degrees at 6 AM. Fall lettuce did fine, Swiss chard, peppers and tender herbs didn't like it. But the fruit wasn't damaged and we brought in a bunch of small poblanos, and full-sized banana, Anaheim and Jimmy Nardellos. Also brought in some herbs to dry. Took out all the tomatoes. Disconnected the drip system. Yesterday planted 2026 garlic. Temps on the 60s+ most of this week, so we'll get some more lettuce and maybe spinach. BilletHead and nomolites 2 John
