Hi Gita-
sorry I'm kind of slow lately. My Daturas had one bloom each then lost all the big leaves -either my spray didn't work or I hit them too late. Little new leaves coming on at top. The rain must be good too.
I am bringing cut up vegs for dipping. Can be labor intensive in its own way but I feel like I'm getting off easy cuz prep doesn't count in cooking as the work part in my brain.
My tomatos experience is kind of disappointing this year. Slicers came and went during and after vacation and succumbed to drought. Grapes are being eaten alive by a climbing zucchini vine. Romas were ok but sort of orangey(Ooops, guess this should be in the orange thread) I did get several bags of them in freezer but I feel like they are not the best. Oh well.
You'll recognize this purple I have going now. ; ^)
Grandps Otts or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Should self sow for you
