Your tomatoes will be fine on the ground although I do keep tying mine up until I run out of pole.
Your eggplant and squash seem to be suffering from the same thing as I dealt with earlier this year...blooms, great plant..no produce. My theory is...no bees to pollenate...I am finally getting beans..I quite cutting my zinnias to attract bees to the garden. I have no idea if it helped or if I'm right, but I'm now getting beans.

Sorry about Joyce and the kitty gift....EEEEUUUUUU!!!

DD went out to check on my tomatoes to make sure no more tomato worms. Actually she almost went out she got to the door opened it, put one foot out and let out a blood curdling scream. One of the stray cats we feed had been by the door earlier just meowing away but I gave it no thought. The kitty left a present a dead mouse, Joyce stepped on it as she was going to walk out, now she will NEVER go on the deck again. The eggplant plants are HUGE but there is not one single eggplant, same with the yellow squash. My bell pepper has 2 peppers. Some of the tomatoes are turning red. I have so few plants yet they take up the entire deck. I wish I had a big garden but I can't do it on my own. I spoke to the lady from the church that does my grocery shopping for me. This year the church has a garden and the produce will go to a shelter. I told her if they need more space and would want to they could use my property next year for a garden but they would have to share with me.
:lol:

Thanks for the info Patti. I bet you're right about the bees, we have tons of wasps no bees. I wonder why?? It is not that I hate hot it is I choke from hot stuff. Joyce had me try a smigin of blackened chicked and she couldn't believe how I turned red and couldn't stop chocking. I couldn't breath. Maybe I will not eat the pepper just take a small bite and see what that does before I chew and swallow.
I just hope the kitty gift wasn't Miss Mousies relative. :lol: :lol: :lol:
