Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

[jvls1942]

good august already. had five relatives' birthdays in 2 days.
today all i did so far was to set all 3 box traps again. watered the plants real good. cut the top tips off of the tomatoes. they are to the top of the stakes. i am hooping the energy will go into setting tomatoes instead of making more vine.
some of the tomatoes are turning red. the lettuce should be ready when the tomatoes turn red. fresh blt's will be on the menu.
corn at out favorite farmer is $1.oo/per ear.
Annie bought some from Walmart for .25/ear
it surprisingly was good. just a tad not real fresh.
i dug the 2 wheel cart out of storage. will pull it with the lawn mower for picking rocks.

I'm glad it's August already. I'm always happy when summer goes fast. Too warm, or smoky this year. Now it's starting to get dry. I see some of my tomatoes have blight, but I will get enough. I planted more than we need. Pumpkins are ripening too already.

My oldest dog had a dental tomorrow. Not sure who is more worried. Probably me. I don't think she knows tomorrow will be another day at the vet. She hates it there. I feel guilty, but know she needs it.
