ksmithMy Garmin Nüvi 260w arrived yesterday. Looking forward to eliminating paper maps and Google Maps printouts from my life. More trees saved.
I don't know if it's due to chilly nights, the changing season, or what, but the tomato plants are winding down. Leaves are curling and drying up--I can now see through foliage that I could barely work my hand through a couple of weeks ago. The Crim look the worst, even though there are still a few large greenies left. The Sweet 100s plant is battered. The Roma looks the best of the bunch, and is still sporting a healthy crop of ripening fruits. More cooking and freezing in my future. Is it possible to OD on lycopene?
The peppers have perked up, and I hope it isn't too late for them. The bell pepper has two largish peppers, 3-4 inches long, and the banana pepper has buds. Mesclun mix is sprouting.
A beautiful weekend predicted, sunny with temps in the mid 70s. I intend to spend as much time on the deck as possible, writing. I also want to get hold of some pizza dough and make my own version of a veggie pizza, with some of my tomatoes and basil, red onion, artichoke hearts, and the California olives that I don't care for but don't want to toss. Maybe some spinach.
