Gardening: August 14 Notes

Tomatoes are starting to ripen faster and faster.    I currently have about 30 tomatoes in the basket and have been eating 2-3 tomatoes a day.   Also the Blossom End Rot is becoming less and less an issue.    About 2/3 of the ripened tomatoes have not rotten spots.

As far as the sugar snap peas, I picked two pods from the vine.    I’m still hoping the peas will develop and provide plenty of output.

Zucchini and summer squash are slowing down.    The plants are looking more and more worn.    Harvesting 2-3 squash per week (which is still more than we can eat).   Plan to plant fewer plants next year.    One bed of zucchini and one bed of summer squash should be sufficient.

Still waiting for the spaghetti squash to ripen.  The color still isnt as bright yellow as it should be.   Really looking forward to this harvest.
