Harvest while the sun shines

This has been a weird gardening season, no two ways about it.

On the one hand, it's been a lovely summer for people -- mild days, rain at night.

On the other hand, our vegetables mostly like it hotter, a little drier, and much more consistent. We had a late spring, very little summer, and who knows how the fall will go.

My advice is to harvest what you can when you can. If you can get your tomato plants up off the ground after this last storm, you will keep them healthier and producing more. Remove any plants that are too diseased.

COMPOST -- Yes, the bins are full, but we now have three plots where you can put weeds and dead plants. NC2, CW10 and SC10 are all available as places to put this stuff. HOWEVER -- be considerate of the plots next to these new compost areas, please.
