Baleful Bounty – A whole lotta somethin’ going on…
Whether it’s been the ungodly heat, the unpredictable rainy spells, bugs, fungi, bugs, vermin in the bales or bugs… I know – I said that 3 times.. But, I’m really trying to grow organically – and the bugs are carrying the garden away… Passive insecticides and things made out of marigolds just isn’t doing the job. Anyway – I’ve lost 2 tomato plants. I should restate that… I lost two tomato plants AFTER they were full of green tomatoes. Which meant I had to harvest a 1/2 bushel of green tomatoes. In the narrow scheme of things, it doesn’t exactly sound like such a bad thing… except this week they all started to ripen – concurrently. On top of that, the 2 remaining healthy plants are also kicking out the red globes eight to the bar. I’m awash in maters… and unfortunately… okra… This is 1/2 (half) of the okra I got from the Okra Man I’ve told you guys about the Okra Man before. Out on a drive with Jane today, we headed towards Ellijay …
