I never had much luck getting high yields from purple tomatoes.

Ditto. Which annoys me because cherokee purples are the best tasting tomato I've ever had, by far.

I have some lemon boys going crazy right now, so we'll see. Between those and the midnight snackers, I should be set for maters. The better boys are doing ok as well.

I thought I lost my Sea Island Red peas to mosaic, but after regular foliar fertilizer with kelp/fish emulsion, they've putting up a good fight. My french bush beans are doing damn good too.

Peppers are finally setting. Have tons of jalapenos, a few Anaheims, and a bunch of Carmens. Bells are finally setting, and my habanero and ghost foliage is finally cranking up.

Cucamelons are going to be a bumper crop....and should be an adventure keeping the vines trained.

Also have Edisto melon, Arkansas pickle cukes, yellow squash, zuchs, tomatillos, white eggplant, and spaghetti squash finally growing well.

Thought I lost my goji berry plants, but they're coming on strong now. Tons of comfrey coming up underneath my pomegranates. Have about ten persimmons that set and didn't drop and are growing, so might actually have some persimmons to eat this fall.
