This is the summer that wasn’t here in NYS.
It’s been wet and I’ve had trouble with squash beetles taking out my zucchini and tomato blight about did in my tomatoes.
They both started out wonderfully well and so I got a decent crop, but not as good as I had hoped. Still, enough tomatoes to can up for sauce.
It could be worse .
I heard that frost is expected tonight in Maine.
Maybe it's time for the fall root crop to go in ? But yeah , it seems kinda early this year.
I am in the Finger Lakes area , and am already seeing some leaf drop and some color changes already .
I will be looking forward to Joe Bastardi's Saturdays forecast; last I recall he was calling for cool and dry for fall in the North East.
I have to get some tomatoes into the freezer this weekend. Want to make some sauce, but don’t have enough for another batch yet.
Did you catch the tip on using baking soda as a preventitive for blight? Can’t remember who posted it, but it was on last week’s thread, IIRC.
