My beloved…before blight

Tomato Plants, before blight

Believe it or not, there are 6 plants in there.

Plants 1 and 2 after blight. Most of these tomatoes are lost. sniff, sniff

Plants 3 and 4. The beefsteak in the front has 4 remaining tomatoes.

Plants 5 and 6. The Heirloom plums in the back have all survived.

Raspberries and herbs

Raspberries, herbs and some lettuce at the other end.

I also have 6 rose bushes.  Three were completely buried under weeds.  Those three should bloom this week for the first time.  Here’s the other three.

Rose bush 2

Rose Bush 3

Rose Bush 6 - has 13 large red buds!

Is it September yet?

I’ve decided there is some good that can come from having to travel from work.  I’ll be in Philly during hockey season.  I’ve just started going to Philly.  So, hockey season must be around the corner. 

I’ve spent the summer cultivating an unbelievable garden only to have my tomatoes suffer from blight.  Within the last two weeks 90% of the leaves have died quickly followed by 60% of the tomatoes.  I lose a few more every day.  My bumper crop for tomato sauce is very quickly becoming only 1 -2 tomato sandwiches.  Sad days.  My herb garden on the other hand is off the hook.

Pictures coming soon!
