    What did you do in the garden today?

    Slicing tomatoes have been harvested in full and will be cut down. Cherry tomatoes are still going, though they're slowing down with the cooler temps. Agreed. We're in moderate drought up here. Again. 😓

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I feel this. Half the water's dribbling down my arm, the other half sputtering onto my tomatoes. We don't have hard water, but the iron content seems to gunk things up just as bad. I do vinegar soak my faucet heads in the house from time to time. Don't know why I never thought to do it on the...

    I’ll search around for it, thank you! :)

    I might actually have the parts to make this! Thank you. 😁 I'll look into them, thanks! I have something similar to yours from Sam's Club. It's pretty good, but just doesn't seem to last very long before getting gunked up. Maybe it's my water.

    Does anyone have a watering wand they really like? Or are they all just disposable junk after two seasons? Mine is an extended version, but I'm still killing my back trying to reach things. It also feels like the water's either coming out in a geyser or a trickle. The control lever is a joke.

    You know what's crazy is they turned down cheap cherry tomatoes from the grocery store, but when I offered a Sweet 100 they went bananas! Even chickens know the difference, I guess. Those look amazing! Seems like you get a lot more flesh vs watery seed.

    My boxed-while-green slicing tomatoes are doing fantastic. Had multiple Black Krims and Cherokee Purple ripen over just a few days. Now to somehow eat them all, plus the Sweet 100s and Sungolds that are bursting off the vine. What a wonderful problem to have! 🥹

    We haven't gotten a single slicer tomato to ripen, and it's starting to get cold, so we're pulling the green ones off the vine to ripen in boxes. Fingers crossed.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    It finally happened: I got some tomatoes. I have nine plants... NINE! Please let the season extend into October... I've called a giant tomato's bluff before and pulled it while green to ripen on the counter. Took probably 7-10 days, but the thing made it!

    I watered. I might actually get a single Sungold tomato tomorrow if I play my cards right.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Well, one of the few green ones I had going inexplicably fell to the ground... so maybe?

    I'll message you in the fall if we end up moving the bushes (they're in too tight of an area right now). 👍

    Saving this! Thanks!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I watered my half-dead heirloom tomatoes (because I can't accept the truth). The cherry tomatoes are finally coming along though. Maybe I'll get a few before frost. My husband picked blueberries. Love my bushes, but I need a better cover system.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Staring at my tomatoes and mentally willing them to ripen. I cannot believe how bad this year was. We're normally knee deep in tomatoes by now! :hit

    I real-life LOL'd. "I'm not panting! YOU'RE panting!"

    That is interesting. I'm going to guess it's thanks to his big comb and wattles, coupled with the fact that he doesn't have to expend energy making/laying eggs.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I dumped the chickens' old water on a few of my struggling tomato starters, then ran back in the house. The rest of the garden can fend for itself!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    All my tomatoes are turning yellow, so I did NOT water. Not sure what's going on. Hoping they can recover and it's just all the rain we've had. They're still growing like weeds.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Is anyone else getting nailed by daytime mosquitos? We've gotten a record amount of rain here in the northeast, and I'm getting bit through clothes/repellent/90 degree heat/wind. It's unreal. Today I'm finally pulling the plug on a dead butterfly bush and replacing with a Vermillionaire...
