Summer winds on, not much in pictures

 Not sure if it's going to get hellaciously hot but it's warm enough. Right now it's breezy but very warm 80+ today and will continue that trend through the weekend. Hose is still not replaced but am watering best  I can.

Unless those peppers start gaining some girth, I think they're actually serranos. Seriously they are big enough for being serrano right now. The state of the main bed right now is bleh. Still getting mostly female flowers on the squash so a lot of the fruit is just dying on the bush. I pollinated another one last night with an older male flower and will hope for the best. Next year, definitely planting more than one bush if I want a better crop.

Current harvest status of the tomatoes... that was three days ago and the two groups on the counter are both from what I had in the fridge. Any that I pick now are going on the table. Might even shift some of these down there as well. After I make some fresh salsa again. I had half a jalapeno from the store and diced that up with onion and fresh tomato and cilantro for shrimp tacos the other day.

And there is mildew on the squash, mostly the older leaves of course because that's where I've been splashing water. No big deal because that's mostly done as well. Why do those plants always head for the corner? Technically they are growing south which is actually smart on their part, growing toward the most sunlight. I wonder if open field squash just grow as a bush rather than off to a side?

It's only another week or so before what's left of the tomato bushes come out. I may or may not be in a physical state to be able to do that so I may have to take care of that this weekend. The two tomato seedlings are now down to one. I looked at them last night and one had been munched on to the stem. Had to pull that one out and the other one is doing fine so far. Also the other squash seedling is going to get pulled, too late in the season for that. I'm wondering if those bean seeds never sprouted due to age, checked the package and they were packed for sale in 2022. That's only 3 years but still, it's also possible the soil got too dry and hot even being pushed down almost two inches. 

So that's all for now, cilantro will be sprouting when it starts getting cool then it's time for lettuces again but not for another two or three months.
