Hope you'll get some rain soon! On the other hand, lately we've been having a lot of it, maybe even too much.

I'm gonna try to find some of those seeds next year after seeing so many posts with the beautiful Brandywines. <BR/><BR/>As far as watering, it's been raining all week here.

I, too, have noticed that the tomato vines can't seem to support the weight of the tomatoes like they should.<BR/><BR/>And, with these hotter days, plus the fact that we are on the downhill side of summer, I think the garden will finish up sooner than usual. Some plants are quite wilted at the end of the day, but they perk right up by morning.<BR/><BR/>Carol at May Dreams GardensCarol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-62935678956381086592007-08-09T15:17:00.000-04:002007-08-09T15:17:00.000-04:00Marc: This year Minnesota is in an extreme drought...Marc: This year Minnesota is in an extreme drought. I've been watering my veggies every 4-5 days for 3 hours at a time. So far, it's working okay, although the cucumbers and zucchini are starting to look a little ragged, and the beans have definitely seen better days. On a high note, though, the tomatoes seems to like the watering regime, because they're starting to come in really nicely.<BR/><BR/>I hope some of us get some rain soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-69763151857194459532007-08-09T15:05:00.000-04:002007-08-09T15:05:00.000-04:00I feel for you with the lack of water.

It now rains almost daily. That being said, temps here are easily in the 100's, so it's mostly steaming my plants. <BR/><BR/>I guess it saves time in the kitchen! LOL. Keep posting those LOVELY mater pics!<BR/><BR/>EmmaEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940272966084845075noreply@blogger.com
