Beautiful weekend. We did get frost on a few summer squash
leaves and pulled all the basil the day before as it was ready to
harvest anyway. (it would have been toast with a light frost)
The squash will recover and keep producing just like another
round of rhubarb is up now with the cooler weather, as long as the
nice weather continues. Two week forecast is above 50 at night.
The annual tasting is more about the menu than an actual
'tasting' for winners but I ended up with plenty of good fruit to do
a small tasting of slicers and cherries. 10 people could not give
a winner as all were good and most were previous winners. The
surprises were DwarfMetallica and Owen'sPurple. Both fantastic,
OP just a bit sweeter but the gel and seed cavity was very wet
and fluid. Not over-ripe, just a bit too seedy. Still a 9.
All were 8.5 - 9.5
