That spot looks like a bug has been dining on your tomato. Nothing to worry about unless he’s got a bunch of friends.

Most of my garden is shaded but that doesn’t really help in 100 degree weather. Tomatoes, corn, onions and beans are doing fine. Lettuce and greens have bolted. Gave up on the squashes and pulled them up so the garden is looking bare already. Maybe I’ll try again for fall.

Tip - don’t throw out the spring onion tops. Chop and freeze them. It’s so easy to throw in a handful when cooking.

Was given a bag of little cling peaches so there are now 6 quarts of chunks in the freezer. The pits and skins yielded 6 half pints of peach butter and 7 half pints of jelly. Hubby sampled the foam and says the butter tastes like Christmas, yum!

I have never heard of using pits and skins to make anything. Peach butter sounds really good. I wonder if the same could be done with mangos since HEB has ripe mangos right now.
