Today was the first day in some while I have made it into my own garden!!
What I found is over whelming – produce just as galore as the weeds.
The tomatoes are going off – however – so too are the caterpillars – I have gotten slack with the white butterfly traps and watch as they descent daily over the garden – its a race – who will get to them first – hmmm with the occassional ratty also having his share – or can I blame the possums… it is any wonder I am getting anything at all.
Netting is a serious consideration for next year.
The tiger toms are most impressive – I have decided to pick them early early and let them ripen on the window sill.
I am in need of some more good compost – so did a huge amount of pruning today – which has piled up – it should break down fairly quickly in the heat.
I am taking the Spanish approach of working early morning – before the heat hits.
