Hi Cheryl,
Talk about a busy bee, I would say you take the prize, I got about half crazy reading what all you are doing. Gee I must sound lazy.
All my vine plants have died. Cucumbers had tons of blossom on them. However, within a few weeks they crocked. The huge squash plant was dying so out she came. It was using up my lawn and it was getting harder to mow without mowing it down, which I tempted to do several times.
My onions are wonderful, carrots are ok, not good flavor like California carrots. Beets did well for what was left from all the rain washing them away. My beans didn't have much of a chance with the bunnies. The best thing I got was lettuce, it was wonderful, so I planned some more on Monday, it should be ready next month. It will be ok in cool weather, just like spinach, which I planned more of it too. I thought I would do some my zucchini again, I only got a few of them until the plant died. I don't know what is lacking in the soil for the vine plants. I think next year I will just do things I know grow well.
My story about my tomatoes that I was waiting to get ripe. I bought a bag of tomato seed marked cherry tomatoes. I just throw them over the side of the deck, back in the corner, it was just a good place for them. They are those tomatoes that I was waiting to ripen in fact they were dead ripe they are yellow tomatoes. They are so good. Along with the yellow is a very small red tomato, not what I would call grape or cherry, but a little larger. I think I have 4 maybe 5 kinds of tomatoes out there. Nothing better then your own tomatoes.of all kinds.
That is my story and I am sticking with it.
Have a great time in Flordia
