funny season for me this year... the tomato plants started well. But acted like they were stunted.. a fair amount of fruit but very little vegetation and spindly vines.. the production has been slightly below normal ... we still have made 2 gallons of sauce....egg plants dropped the first 3 sets of blossoms and fruit... as of late seem to have rebounded .. but I haven't picked any yet... summer squash has been good.. but also dropped blossoms and even small squash early... my peach tree is ridiculous... it bent and broke branches from the weight of the fruit.. I pulled the top 1/2 back in place with a pulley system and the winch from my 4 wheeler.. but I'll have to top the tree once we pick the fruit...normally that tree gives us a hand full at best.. I'll pick a full bushel this year... sadly the insect/worms have done a number on a lot of the peaches...
garden greens are my main fall crop...but I have to fight the yearling bunnies for the greens.. except the arugula...
