I just can't spare the water! Same goes for everything else. I have two new beds of lettuce going and want to give them all the water they want, so everything else will be cut back. I saw your heat wave on the news yesterday, too, I should never complain about 100 degree temps because we are never humid and that is a huge blessing! Stay cool until it breaks.HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-66598232579558826922015-09-08T21:27:12.339-07:002015-09-08T21:27:12.339-07:00I've seen these things but not really known th...I've seen these things but not really known their purpose! You know I love a kitchen gadget. Haha, just what I need! I'm glad this panned out for you. I've been freezing a lot of tomatoes this week too. The farmers market has fewer vendors every time I go now. Always a shame to see the season end! Though we've had horrible heat here (nothing like yours BUT steamy, muggy nights), so I'd imagine the tomato crops will be reinvigorated this week. <br />Sounds like you'll have tomatoes up until Christmas!
