I planted more squash and none of it is doing well at all. Not sure why not. But gave up on it.

My newest tomatoes are blushing and we are harvesting a half dozen or so a day. Bigger than a baseball for most.

I've got a lot of little ones still on the vine but everything seems to just stop growing during that heat wave.

The original determinates that I cut back at the stem, most of them grew back up a few feet. Some bloomed and put on fruit. Fruit is small and very few. Some didn't put on new fruit at all. So that experiment is a lesson learned.

I won't fool with letting them come back next time. Just start more seedlings to replace.

My okra decided to start producing all of a sudden, but still not as much as I'd hoped for.

Peppers are still loaded and I harvest 20 or so large ones every few days.

Sweet taters will be ready in a few weeks.

I haven't had horn worm issues in a few weeks. But something is boring tiny holes in some tomatoes and peppers especially. No idea what. So I sprayed again.

BTW, if you use seven dust, a leaf blower will evenly distribute it across a fairly decent sized area. Works better with two people or if you have longer arms.
