My elbow has not been healing properly because of me. At the first sign of "oh, I feel better", I have been working again the the garden with the pruners. The pruners are bad! But I have to groom all the plants and lately the July gloom has just made my tomato plants look really sad. One tomato plant to had to be pulled out of the ground. Good bye to my Aunt German Green. The Big Rainbow is hanging on and so is Sungold. I can't believe that I thought it was a Sweet Million. I have a lot of tomatoes on the Sungold but I had to strip most of the leaves. I have not been watering it but someone else is not watering properly. Now I know why I do not like to grow tomatoes. The cucumbers are looking good. I am going to check on them today to make sure some survived the cut worms, snails, and the slugs. The kale has been producing. I see the aphids starting to emerge from the tips. That means it is getting warm and the plant is getting a little stressed.
