Heatstruck 2018
Texas heat in the middle of July, 2018...cooked everything in our Austin garden. Removed our dead plants, cages and stored the shade cloth. Waiting for cooler temperatures and hope to sow Elbon Rye and Crimson Clover as cover crops..Not a big yielding garden this year, but good enough tomato supply for us and friends... harvested from a dozen plants. Global warming prompts one to start seeds on December 1, instead of January 1. We still have half a tankfull of stored rainwater. Enjoyed Black Krim and Blackstone's Cherokee. New favorite variety is Kellog's Breakfast
