We had a good couple inches of rain last week on the heels of a particularly hot spell. My garden loved it. The tomatoes have gone rogue.

I’d been diligent about pruning. I want tomatoes, not leaves, so I’ve spent a fair amount of time cutting off the branches that weren’t producing. It doesn’t seem to have mattered. This is what it looks like after light pruning and standing my stakes back up as best I could. Obviously, I need to find a better solution for next year. I have some thoughts, but I can’t do anything about it now. I’ll figure it out and get supplies over the winter, and when I clear out the bed in the spring, I’ll install something more robust. I’m open to suggestions if something has worked well for you. Otherwise, I’ll be at the mercy of YouTube.

We are in the awkward stage where I’m getting too many tomatoes to eat, but not enough to can. I made some tomato sauce yesterday, and it was enough for dinner (over spaghetti squash from my son’s in-laws).

You can see from the weeds next to the raised be that I’ve been in my office a lot. My deadline is looming, but I think I’m almost done.

What’s new with you?
