You making flowers?

If so get a q-tip and touch all the flowers. Play mother nature.

Yes we were making flowers.

Tomatoes no more but the cucumbers are budding.


I think I'm going to remove everything as well as the raised bed setup and plant them straight into the ground next year.

What do yall recommend to do after tilling to keep the grass from coming through?

Tomatoes need lows below 80 for fruit to set, when the nighttime lows are in the 80's fruit just won't set.

There are some heat set varieties that are supposed to set in higher temps.

We had issues with our zucchinis this year, but they've finally started over the last 2 weeks growing like crazy. We too believed it was an issue with a lack of bees. They were everywhere in the spring, but now that it's deathly hot I feel like they're holed up.

My ROMA tomatoes in Lafayette were great and still producing. They seem to tolerate the heat pretty well.
