Garden report
We are harvesting goodly quantities of tomatoes, squash, basil, and
cucumbers. Lots of cucumbers! Eggplants exhibit healthy foliage but
only modest production so far.
Dry and hot weather has made it necessary to irrigate with the garden hose.
Insect damage has been less severe than in past years. Our primary
method of pest control is hand-picking. Some pepper plants are stunted
but survive. Tomato foliage shows signs of blight but none have died.
