A report from both my gardens

Down here at the beach I had a total crop failure with my cucumbers.I always do very well with them.I harvested about 5 at the beginning of the season.My tomatoes have done well.I bought starts at Loew's this year instead of starting seeds.I have medium size fruit.Tastes great ,forgot name of variety.I have loads of grape tomatoes and have also been making sauce with the 3 varieties of basil grown next to tomatoes.2 varieties of egg plants are doing well as usual.Okra ok and sweet red peppers produced very limited amounts.

Up in the mountains [ I go up about every 2 weeks for about a week] all I need to do is weed.Plenty of rain this year and everything got off to a late start but is growing and producing like crazy.Tomatoes,squarsh,beans peas,cucumbers,corn all were harvested during the week before I returned to the beach on Monday.Potatoes will be ready in the Fall.I have so much that I have been giving it away.
