Want to get some peaches to can next. Have to cram it in- leaving Thurs. for NC to visit family.
OK, now I'm jealous! :mrgreen: lol
After weeks of 100+ temps here, my tomatoes, bell peppers and a few summer squash is all that is hanging on. Everything else burned up. I got 1 Baggie of green beans, before my vines died. I am still hoping to keep the rest alive long enough to produce. So far, I have gotten small peppers, and 3 golf ball sized tomatoes, out of 12 plants. Down in the upper 90's now, so with watering, maybe they will produce a Beefsteak tomato by October, that will suffice for a BLT.
Normally, I would be canning tomatoes too, making relish and pickles, and catsup.
This year, we have had a plague of grasshoppers that even ate the decorative monkey grass, moles, gophers, squash bugs and locusts.
It's been so hot I started putting out water for the rabbits, and the turtles have cooked their feet trying to cross roads, to find a stock tank that had water.
