I took out most of the tomato plants yesterday. So many pests eating them and they had a really big case of blight. The weather is causing everything to burst too. Best to get diseased plants out. I have more than my share of good tomatoes and still have some growing on the shadier side. Getting ready to bring the grow room back for the next batch -- broccoli and greens. Working out the timing -- not sure when it's cool enough to support fall plants. Still, feels kind of sad to take them away.
It's going to be interesting to grow the garden next year. I've learned a lot, but probably had some beginner's luck too. The pests found the garden -- does this mean more next year (because they often lay eggs in the soil)? Guess I need to do some digging (figuratively and literally).
I got some of the "stuff" off my plate yesterday. Some is still in progress. Today is more of all of this.
My friend gave me lots of vintage books yesterday. A big stack of Nancy Drew from the 1960's. I'm reading one of the stories now.
I took Duke to the park and ran/walked as I try to acclimate to the weather and physical activity. It was humid and miserable so we kept it short (mainly for him -- dogs can overheat easily and suddenly).
I'm doing some things related to peri this week -- new supplement coming and I have a gyn appointment to discuss HRT. More on both soon.
That's all from here. I finished hunting hornworms in the garden this morning. Big, adorable Disney-looking caterpillars, and awfully destructive. Half eaten cherry tomatoes are the first sign. They are so hard to find -- big, but perfectly camouflaged. I'm going to look in the dark with a black light -- they supposedly glow.
Later gators.
