July 28, 2007

Thunderstorms in the forecast. Thursday and Friday were beastly humid and hot - 95º. Today is cooler, with a slight breeze. It rained a tiny bit earlier - not enough to prevent Scott from getting the grass cut.

There are Jalapenos on the plants! And raspberries are starting to ripen. The cluster tomatoes are starting to colour, and the cherry tomatoes too. I've had 3 so far. A couple of the yellow pear tomatoes too. I'm interested to taste them. There will be more beans for dinner tomorrow. Next weekend I think I'll get a new planting of spinach in. It might still be too hot, but if I keep the soil moist, it should be fine.

There's blight on some of the tomato leaves. Joe has it worse. I've pulled off the affected leaves, and so far the fruit looks fine. Discovered one small pumpkin, I haven't checked for more. Once there are three, I'll pull off the rest of the blossoms to conserve energy.
