Might as well try and post

 The weather is warming up, multiple days in a row of high 80's and low 90's. With a few degrees of difference daytime temps will be that way for this whole week. Luckily the nighttime dips down by about 40 degrees so the heat of the day isn't as oppressive when we button up in the morning.

Okay so roundabout way of getting photos paired up is ridiculous. I just tried to do a reverse of what I've done before and it worked. Still no word from blogger about what happened. Harsh afternoon sun and the rambling, dying tomatillos in the evening. The blue catch bucket broke finally so nothing to water the far beds with other than hose spray from six feet.

And formatting all gone. Can barely see him but Manny is still hanging around, the left picture is from day before yesterday. I found him again last night and scouted the area for the best place to move him. Top contenders are the jade bush at the entrance to the garden or the trumpet vines on the pergola. Another contender is the asparagus fern that's in bloom and sure to bring plenty of meals on wings for him.

Something snacked on a tomato, most likely a bird from the damage. The two vines are basically done for the season anyway, one of the branches bent over again so it's time to pull them as soon as the remaining fruit are done.

The peppers are still doing okay, the poblano has two more fruit coming in but the oldest one still hasn't grown much, a third of the size it should be. The two fish peppers likely won't be getting very big anymore either and the onions are the only thing left that still need to stay in the ground and grow.

I did see that there are onions and cilantro coming up in the south bed though. I have to water very very carefully so as not to smash the onions as they come up. Which I would need a mister for and don't have. No new hose as yet, so finger on the hose is all I can do. Did I mention how I hate it when people ignore my advice? Might have to go get the hose from downstairs again and slog it over there to water.

The entirety of my tomatillo harvest so far. Nothing even as big as a ping pong ball but I'm only picking them when they come off easily from the plant and are dark purple. I am dreading what that salsa is going to look like but according to a lot of the photos, they keep the purple color. Will post photos when that happens. 

That's all for today, not much else to do or say, sitting inside due to the heat and won't get out until sunset to check on things.
