Side-by-side comparison of two young tomato plants in a garden bed. The left plant is wilted with curled, darkened leaves showing heavy damage, while the right plant is upright with fresh green growth and healthy leaves. Both are planted in soil with small weeds and backed by a concrete wall and wire support.

Had a late free pass over us. I almost covered the tomato plants, but a mixture of ADD and rose-colored glasses stopped me. I’m disappointed, but trying to celebrate those that survived.

3 out of 15. Should be some damn strong tomatoes.

I direct sowed. Maybe I waited too long?
My snap peas did really well, til the cucumber killed them.

Happy Friday!
'My Caroline' roses are still blooming. Lovely to still see a bit of color shining out there in the garden, post-two freezes, gale winds and rain. Hardy ones. Another admirable trait to learn from the garden.
Hope you all have a nice weekend. 🌱
