We’re trying our best to keep the garden alive, but we’re all a bit cranky from the dreadful heat and drought.
The tomatoes have succumbed to spider mites. We’ll be pulling them up soon and finding a new place to plant a fall tomato crop.
Tomatoes, not feeling so good
Most of the peppers still look healthy, but we wish they’d produce a little more fruit.

Will we actually get to eat this cantaloupe? At this rate, it may be the only one we get.

Everything else is hanging in there…we still have cucumbers and plenty of basil. We planted a tomatillo a few weeks ago and are crossing our fingers that we’ll get to make some good salsa with it.

I had two tomatillo plants that didn’t make it and I only got one fruit from it. Do you only have one? Tiffany’s mom told me you need at least two so they will pollinate and fruit. My tomatoes have slowed down, but are still in there. Peppers doing well. Basil needing to be trimmed every couple day to keep them from going to flower.
