Gardening

and tomatoes despite soil prep and waterings seem very small in height and not very productive - I'm guessing a different variety or it being just too hot and stressful for growing tall and fruiting? The green bell peppers seem to be coming along; lettuce, a Red Romaine, done; red and yellow chard plants still providing enough for a few recipes and still putting up new stems/leaves; herbs lush and prolific.

I've also had some grape/cherry tomatoes ripe and ready to pick (hardly enough for even a salad, so they ended up in my mouth on contact, LOL!), but also not as reliably fruiting. To be fair, I bought a different variety this year, a lower, more bushy container variety.

Last year, I had gobs of Cherry 100s mostly all go red later in July/Aug all at the same time and ended up throwing them en masse in the Roma sauce, far too many to use in salads, pasta salads, etc...

We'll see...hoping to see some good corn coming soon at the farmer's market (My north 40 inch garden is too small for corn). YUM!
