Tomatoes & Potatoes


Look what I found today! It's very cracked, but it is the first brandywine of summer! The romas are really starting to come in now as well. Also, in harvesting news, we have dug up all the potatoes, and I think we have about 20 lbs. (including the ones we've already eaten). The potatoes are being stored in the same way as we stored the sweet potatoes last year, a cat litter box with holes drilled all around for circulation. Hopefully, they will last this way.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid the squash may be a losing battle. The carnival squash that had three fruits on it and was huge, is all but dead now. I must research efforts against the cucumber beetle for next year.

However, one can't be too sad when the sunflower sunshine has come to the garden. Enjoy!
