Penny,
Your grandson is boiling in Spartanburg too! A five degree difference in
temp doesn't feel like much though, it is still hotter than blue blazes!
Wow! Amazing growth on your cherry tomatoes! I have had them before and I
always just let them flop over. However, you don't want the little
tomatoes to touch the ground.
Sorry to hear about your raspberries! I hate it when you watch something
ripen and then it is taken away so quickly. I have had the same thing
happen with blackberries and I never get any pecans from my tree, the rats
with bushy tails get to them first. Don't use roundup on those bushes!
Just get netting.
At least your lettuce has survived the attack of Mr. Bunny. The rabbits
here have eaten almost every single cone flower I have. My 'Paradoxa'
(yellow cone flower) was totally eaten, roots and all! White Swan is
history. Ropel and bloodmeal have not worked. I finally constructed a
chicken wire cage to save the remanants of my last cone flower, perhaps at
leats the roots will survive.
Good luck with the marigolds,let me know if it works!
