Come on and get ripe. I...Robin, I'm with you. Come on and get ripe. I have a couple that I'm watching. They are right on the verge of turning. I can see just a hint of blush on them. I've had to start watering heavily since we haven't had a drop of rain in nearly three weeks and the temperatures have soared above 100 several days and the other days have been in the upper 90s. Hopefully, the tomatoes won't split on me from the dry weather and watering. This year has been quite the challenge. The bell peppers are starting to recover from their somewhat weird start this year. They just sat there with wilted leaves looking pathetic. Everyone that I talked with had the same issue this year. The bell peppers are just now starting to grow and put on buds. Ususally we have peppers by this time of the year. <br /><br />The pumpkins are the star of the garden this year. They have all but completely covered a 30' by 30' area. Several pumpkins are now beyond the basketball size with no hint of turning yet. They are going to be huge pumpkins. The corn is tasseled and putting on ears. The wild turkeys have taken to eating the tops off the later plantings so there won't be sweet corn after the first planting.<br /><br />Have a great day in the garden.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-42222150703547427132012-07-09T23:48:44.981-04:002012-07-09T23:48:44.981-04:00All I have is sungold's so far.

This is our first year growing Sun Golds and I'm just amazed that they've been able to keep producing fruit in our record heat in Tennessee (temps as high as 109!)<br /><br />The other tomato that is producing really well for us so far this year is Riesentraube. It's a little behind Sun Gold in terms of producing ripe fruit, but it's loaded with grape tomatoes and we've gotten about four ripe ones so far.Aaron Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229176286446531945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-37987695274744400322012-07-07T14:52:20.772-04:002012-07-07T14:52:20.772-04:00Yay!!!
