Hot!!

It's already been a long, hot and dry summer and it's only early July!! The garden survived our Alaska vacation. Many thanks to a few great friends and family who came out to tend it while we were gone. The tomatoes unfortunately developed and great deal of blight. I've worked this week trimming and pulling the worst affected out. There are a lot of tomatoes on the vine, hopefully we'll still have a great harvest in a few weeks. The cherry tomatoes are coming in now. The melons are looking good as is the winter squash and sweet potatoes. If we can get a little more rain we should have a good late summer harvest.

If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please let me know. You can also email me at jmiesfeldt@bellsouth.net.
