ksmithAugust already. Yeesh. The only good thing about it is that I'm only a couple of weeks away from tomatoes. I thought I had 4 Romas that were close, all red or reddening, but upon closer inspection I saw that they had all been pecked/burrowed into, and were rotted inside. I also found a greenie Black Crim that was infected in the same way, and got rid of that one as well.
I've also been keeping an eye out for blight. One of the Romas showed a few of the telltale yellowed, blotchy leaves last week. Got rid of those, and sprayed the lower branches of all the tomatoes with organic fungicide. So far, so good.
The basil still looks great. The peppers look nice and leafy, but are only starting to bud now. No clue if the soil is wrong--too rich, too watered--or if the shade of the tomatoes is slowing things down.
Pups have been fed. Coffee imbibed. I need to make a quick run to the grocery store. Then, down to work.
