So glad it is a long weekend! No way we could process and put away everything and do garden/chicken chores in just two days. 3L of pizza sauce, 5L of salsa (not pictured) and corn all went to the freezer.
As you can see we still feeding our friends with our flowers, nothing better then buzzing in a garden!
And now I would like to talk about this variety of tomatoes - Golden Queen. I like yellow tomatoes so I wanted to grow them, but I had so many issues with them 😢- most of all was blossom end rot. So bad that I would barely get anything at all, and then the plants would get those dreded black spots. These were the last of my seeds, I decided to give up on them after this year. But here is something I did different this year, when I was planting them I put a handful of oyster shells in each hole. They were watered the same amount as all the other plants. NOT A SINGLE ISSUE! Did I crack the code of these tomatoes? Look at the size!!!

The land of tomatoes is doing well in this heat. After spending many hours of w**ding, we found out that we have “some” tomatoes 😂😂

Decided to buy this misting system from Temu. Must say, for just about $20-25 it works great! 5 on each side of the greenhouse. I do have to disconnect one side to do the other side, but that’s minor inconvenience.
