My garden is a mess as well. Not only the heat and humidity, but some severe thunderstorms have nearly destroyed the tomatoes. Trying to save as many as I can. Anyway, looking forward to the more moderate weather which will be arriving soon. I hope!

BLACK FOREST CHERRY CAKE
Sour Cream Devils Food Cake with Cooked Cherry Filling, Dark Chocolate Ganache, Whipped Cream and shaved Dark Chocolate garnish.
They both look so awesome!
I sent some Zucchini Brownies with Beau up to Pre-Bear Camp (it goes: Pre-Bear Camp, Bear Camp, Post-Bear Camp from end of July through end of October) last week and one of his friends hunted for the weekend with his 12 year old daughter and his 3 year old son and they told Miles to tell me that I can bake them brownies any time. (They had no idea there was Zucchini in them; and good!)
If I bake them this cake, they’ll probably move in with us and I’ll have Minions, again! Yay! I miss having Minions underfoot. ;)
Feels good to eat healthy (grin).
We have had another round of serious thunderstorms. It was very intense as there was a tornado warning too! Looked outside after it was all over. tomatoes all over the ground and the plants had broken stems. So I guess that is the end of my tomatoes this year. . :(
You poor kitten! Been there. Done that. :(
I’ll let you all know what I can salvage from my garden, tomorrow.
It’s not even photo-worthy this year...which is a rare thing. :(
