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.

This has been a strange year for squash. My first planting was a complete failure, and I planted some more two months ago. They started out great and I got a couple squash off each and within the last two weeks everyone on them has started wilting and dieing back. This was in a completely different area than the first planting. I usually don't have any problem with squash.
