Okra & Tomatoes

Okra and tomatoes could have been served together last night, but there were only a few okra and these 1st few tomatoes need to be eaten raw with just a little salt or some cucumbers. There is nothing like a home grown tomato. Two tomatoes were picked Saturday. There was another ripe one yesterday, but it was rotten.

It hasn’t rained since Saturday night so BT was sprayed last night. That will probably guarantee rain today or tonight. Spraying the garden is kind of like washing the car. There are holes in some leaves, but there do not seem to be any larvae or eggs on the bottom of them. There have been quite a few fireflies observed. Maybe they are eating the harmful larvae. The spotted cucumber beetle has not shown up yet this year, but he will be here.

The blueberries that were planted a few months ago are producing already. These are the ones that came from the 4H club and from the Wing-haven sale. The one that was still alive after last year and that had blueberries last year has not even bloomed.
