Much needed rain today

Total rainfall today was 0.7 inches and it was done by lunchtime. Enough to give the garden a much needed soaking. Perfect timing in that it won't be necessary to water this weekend.

Five more large tomatoes were picked today. I have been leaving them on the vine until the last possible minute, so they are ready to eat the same day I pick them.

Picked 3 more cucumbers today, bringing the total to 116. The large tomato total is now 35.


Most of the plants are past their peak due to the fact that we are almost into summer.
It is almost five weeks that the cucumbers have been producing.
The exception are the eggplants. The big eggplant harvest should begin in just a day or two.
