why do my tomatoes lack flavor?
I'm having the exact same problem, and weather as Pat, tho I'm in West
Virginia. July has been terribly dry, and recently as she said the storms have started. They had a tornado ALERT (as in actual tornado spotted) just south of my where my mother lives. That scared the hell outta me since that almost never happens here. I've been doing my best to keep my soil wet when it stays dry too long. For awhile there I was watering daily. Now since the storms started, they are sometimes drenching the ground, so I only water after a few days of very hot weather (which we have had this week). This week has been HOT, the day before yesterday it was 98, with heat index of 104. The hottest day so far this year. For awhile there we were starting to think summer was over, since we had almost a straight week of low 80s and nights as low as high 50s... "Pat Meadows" wrote in message ...

It just did. (Northern PA here.) After a month of total dryness - which followed the ENTIRE SPRING OF CONSTANT RAIN. Help, I'm lost in this sentence! takes deep breath and starts over Anyway: after NO rain in July, the heavens opened and we've had serious storms during the last week (even some tornadoes were spotted locally). And tons of rain, more on the way. I think I give up on this entire season... Pat |
