Our wet and wild summer continues! There have been storms and flash flooding with more on the way. I have only watered the garden manually a couple of times this season, and it doesn't look like I will have to be watering it much in the near future. And with all the water that has been dumped on my garden, I am amazed that everything is still doing so well! There is one pepper, my serraño, that is not doing well. Ironically it is wilted and looks like it needs water! I am pretty sure that is not the case though. I am holding out hope that it will bounce back.
I did get out into the garden today to do some weeding and stake the tomatoes. I used tomato spirals
for the first time last year, and I really liked them. I put additional supports around the plant after it has grown more, but it seems to be easier for me to get to the produce and to manage the indeterminate tomato plants with the spiral. Of course you have to make sure you keep the main stem working it's way up the spiral, so if you have a ton of tomato plants, or not a lot of time to spend in the garden, you may want to stick with a cage or something similar. You can see two of my tomato plants on the spirals in the album below!
