Congrats my little protege. I knew you could do it!

Just got home from a trip up to Vermont, took a quick walk through the garden this morning and everything is doing great…we let some of our leafy veggies, etc. bolt so we can collect seeds. 

Blueberry’s have peaked and starting to wane.  Will be giving the pumpkin patch some attention later (my brother and I have a pumpkin contest each year…we are currently locked up in a tie). My wife spun only a few frames before we left and ended up with an incredible amount of honey…always deceiving to me how much the frames yield!).

All of your garden and veggie photos posted above look great!!

Haven't been to my garden in a couple days because of work and a quick cabin trip. Except for a chipmunk loving my cherry tomatoes it was a good haul today. Eggplant took a month off but they are growing like crazy now. Soil is very dry.

 Try mulching  over the plastic with straw next year. The black fabric holds heat, dries  out the plants .

Mulching with a good clean straw holds the moisture and reflects the heat.  My garden is 30 × 50 takes 8 large bails of straw. Oat  and wheat straw is best. Rye straw will hold  more seeds and as we know rye will grow on a brick .

Till the straw  after you remove the plastic and lyme  in the fall for the following year. Just a suggestion. 

[corydd7]

Wow great advice I never thought of that. 

[Nytracker]

Straw will help amend the soil and hold moisture in the soil as it breaks down . In the spring I have a dump trailer of horse manure dumped on the garden and till that in in late  April  or early May.

Bottom two are a "hybrid" that fell off after their plant toppled with their weight- hopefully they window ripen.

Gotta tell ya, not a fan of those blackened tomatoes. All I can think of is tomatoes with blight.

Tomatoes are supposed to be red or green only.

How they taste?

For reference I also cannot drink cold brew coffee cause coffee is supposed to be warm. Lol.

Anyone who enjoys okra should grow a couple plants. Easy to germinate, easy to grow, easy to harvest.  I have four plants three are healthy.

I harvest daily and they are great raw, fried or of course as a base for gumbo. They should increase production in the heat and require little to no water. Just an out of the box idea for someone's garden next year.
