It must be admitted, the tomato has a little green on the top. It was too close to the ground to trust the small creatures. It had to go in the kitchen window. It will be ready to eat tonight or tomorrow. This of course will be a special ceremony. We will make some special bacon and get a loaf of Nova’s bread. There is lettuce (mesclun) and cucumber in the garden. My wife likes mayonnaise. I prefer aioli.
The okra is going to town. It has to be picked every day or else it turns giant. There is an abundance of squash. A friend says he dries it. We will check into that. Freezing is probably the easiest way to save food. Frozen squash sucks. The problem with squash is that it is mostly water. The water separates in the freezing or canning process.
We are getting a little rain this morning. I got up at 5:30 to water the garden and went outside. After slathering up with mosquito repellant and cutting the water on to the garden, I realized the rain was coming down. Hallelujah!! It doesn’t seem to be heavy enough to do much good, but if it lasts long enough it should help.
