I thought you'd dropped off the face of the earth. I want to know how the watering experiment went and are you in the spray area?

Great harvest! Looks like you have everything you need for pizza margherita :)

Symbiosis at its finest moment...I do adore nature.

	As we approach the triple digit mark early next week I have had an increase in aphids especially on my cucumbers. Nature is doing it's part to handle the pest. I am seeing numerous green lacewing larva and mealy bug destroyers. I put out lacewing eggs earlier in the year but never really saw many of the larva. My $15 investment... ...see more

Very glad to hear that the good bugs are beating the bad bugs, and that buying bugs is a good deal. So, the aphids come with the heat? I guess that explains our good broccoli, as we have had a ... more »

I can't see the picture so well - are the white things tomatoes? If so, those are some amazingly white tomatoes!

How did your garden fare with that kind of hail?!

Ooh! Not good. I was hoping they were some kind of really really white tomato. Ouch.

	Anyone that is interested in a very prolific and yummy tomato, I highly recommend the Black Cherry. It has produced well over 100 tomatoes and is still going strong.
