Mid-July and it's tomato time! Tomatoes are ripening on the vine, and every day I pick a few. This has been my most successful tomato growing season ever. I attribute this partly to the varieties that I chose to grow this year and, more importantly, to the good growing conditions as a result of Ray's help in building raised beds and installing irrigation. I have had zero success with zucchini and pumpkin and pulled the plants early due to mosaic virus and leaf miners that wouldn't quit. Growing watermelons was another failure. Homegrown watermelon, zucchini and pumpkins sound like such a fun project, but I doubt I'll be trying that again.
