We are headed into the dry month here August is usually pretty dry here so will cross the fingers

Sweet dreams everyone

micro, you are talking about how your tomatoes are too dry, and our tomatoes, on the other hand, are suffering from too much rain. In the past 2 months, we've only had 2 days that it didn't rain. The vegetables get mushy, rotten spots before they get ripe when they're too wet. Mosquitoes here have been horrid too.

Mosquitoes and ticks are horrible this year here also.

we used to raise tomatoes in Las vegas.... Shade and water.... Water morning or evening because during the day direct sun just heats up the water and roasts the roots.

Tomatoes do very will here. It is up there with Almonds and sunflowers as the biggest crops in Yolo County

We are supposed to here but many still do not. It is quite sad

We posted about this before?

the bubbles around the eggs Putting them into an egg carton puts them too close to each other with too much pressure on them.

Part of it is correct - the double boxing. But not the egg carton part

I wrapped mine in bubble wrap individually and then put them in egg cartons and wrap the cartons in bubble wrap. Then fill the box with wadded paper. Works great, people had good hatches.

I did bubble wrap all over the place used the top of 18 count egg carton wrapped
each egg layed them in the top wrapped it in more bubble wrap then added the balloons
halfway deflated so they would not pop Goodnight all

Gee wrapping eggs sounds even harder than wrapping Christmas presents. I always manage to tear the paper before finishing.
