This year Summer was just a bad season for some of my favorite veggies and fruits. For some reason I just couldn’t grow a tomato to save my life. Correction. The tomatoes I was able to grow had horribly thick skin, which made it much less enjoyable to eat. This late in the season I think I am just going to cut my losses and rip the three plants out of the pots and save on the water bill. I think my soil must have been just too overused. I thought I added enough nutrient rich soil to them to make up for the older soil, but by the scraggly looks of my tomato plants, that would be a no. On a brighter note, my first attempt at growing butternut squash has been a huge success! I got squash growing all over the yard. I want to take pictures of them, but the bee box is right next to the plant, and they ladies keep chancing me off. I think they know I am the one in the bee suit. I am hoping to make it up to them by feeding them, but the weather has been so hot, I really don’t want to put on a hot bee suit. It’s even too hot at night. Tonight the tomatoes die though. I’m done.
