Greetings All,
We've had extremely hot weather here, hi 80's and 90s. That plus the usual life things that get in the way, I lost any desire or energy to spend much time in the garden. I did go out this past weekend and trim LOTS of bottom leaves on the tomatoes, as they kept growing bigger and thicker. Filled out ~3 wheel barrows of stems and greens, and barely put a dent in them -never mind the top growth. Also haven't had a chance to spray much of anything yet -and keep losing cukes o bugs (i need to show you a picture of the little suckers for ID).
Then finally took a break today after work, went out with a cold brewski, a cigar and sat in a beach chair to contemplate.

In the foreground are some Portuguese bush beans (short).
It is one big jungle, many tomato plants are well over 6ft, this one close to 7ft (deduct the 9" of the raised bed.)
