Wonky weather not much else

 It's warm enough now that we have had to turn the AC on earlier than 3pm. It was into the low 80's outside this morning which meant that by noon or more it was going to be a bit too warm for comfort. So it's been running today since about 11 am. due to various atmospheric issues and some wildfires the air quality and light has been odd. Not quite overcast but hazy though not so much with smoke. I can look outside my window and 'feel' what it's like outside.

                                                           

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The largest cucumber is now about two inches long. I'm pretty sure that's the same cucumber  a day apart. The other smaller cucumbers may not have been pollinated. One of them is yellowing at the blossom end which is a sure sign it wasn't.

 Will see how many survive. The vines are doing pretty good grabbing onto the tomatoes or the trellis as they go. I have to hook them a few times if they're going astray but overall doing what they're supposed to. 

The Terra Cotta tomato isn't getting as big as I hoped, I was under the impression they would be standard slicing size. The coloring in the photos is brighter than what they actually were and that was two days ago. I will probably pick that one today but there aren't any cherry tomatoes ready yet. This bunch was over two or three days but judging from the fruit that's ripening now, I may have my hands full, literally with cherry tomatoes in a week.

 The oregano is still sending up flower stalks, I broke off a few the other day and forgot to bring them with me so they're just dried up and laying on the side of the bed. Oh well. It's an ornamental plant for me now that I've figured out it's Greek Oregano and not Italian. 

 I got tired of the over long leaves on the peppers now that the side branches are growing out so I nipped those off yesterday and they look much better. Maybe more energy will go into the new growth more with those gone. Again, the coloring is darker than it should be otherwise I  would have picked that tomato in the back.

 This sure is an over achiever bush! I'm debating whether to nip off the top growth because I'll never be able to reach the fruit up there. But look at how much is growing!!! Those are all about the same size too, so yeah in about a week or two I'll have a constant harvest going on. Still kind of bummed they aren't Roma, those are more useful than cherry size. C'mon Terra Cotta!

Won't water again until Saturday since I just did it yesterday and surprisingly everything is still moist despite sunny weather.

Summer is a'comin!
