Wow have things changed in the tomato picking in the past week. We have been having near 100 degree days each day for a week and the bulk of my tomatoes are now just putting out a few ripe ones because most of them were picked the last week of May and first two weeks of June. I have gone from picking 3 to 4 gallons of tomatoes a day to 3 or 4 tomatoes a day. I still have a fair number of tomatoes on my older plants and they are setting some new ones but not like they did earlier. I have a new bed of tomatoes that I set out in mid to late May and they are setting fairly good so in a few weeks they should provide me with some more tomatoes.

My beans are about finished and I have already pulled half my squash plants due to SVB. My cucumbers are still producing fairly well but even they have dropped off drastically. Pretty soon all I will be dealing with will be tomatoes, peppers and okra. It won't be as exciting but in the heat of summer down here who needs too much excitement.
