Food plots have exploded with seedlings after a good soaking rain. Exciting stuff for me. And, my '54 Ford that was used for the tilling, etc. for the food plots has had its facelift in plenty of time for the Mid-Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association show (MMOGTA) later in August. Fords are to be one of two featured tractors this year, so I had to dress her up one more time. Posting a picture a bit later. Just got it reassembled yesterday and fired it up. Good feeling to be ready so much in advance.
 
picked another 100 pounds of tomatoes and sis took them to the midwest food bank. ---garden is wierd this year ----- stuff just not growing or producing like normal. The eggplant is not normal either and it usually is a never fail crop here so this years garden was mostly a loss from the go it seams. I did plant late green beans and cucumbers and even they look strange! --- they are about 6 to 8 inches tall now and growing fast so hard to say what they will do.
 
Yellow and Green Zucchini are coming in fast.
Agway “Provider” green beans producing excellent as usual.
Beets are really good this year.
Tomatoes are so-so.
Cucumbers doing well in the new location as are the Honeynut Squash. More sun!
Swiss heirloom red raspberries are setting lots of berries this year. These plants came over from Switzerland in the early 1900’s in her great-uncle’s jacket.
 
Tomatoes around here are just gatting going. Zuks, two plants and we are giving them away. Cukes the slicer are producing well and the picklers we can't use all. Threw away a bushel this morning but keep picking them as the dill is just now ready. Wax beans could be better but green ones doing well. Of course. I prefer the wax. Just starting sweet corn, garden overall is doing well. Vern
 
Rough year on tomatoes and peppers this year....last year it was awesome. Only thing doing well are the volunteer Sweet 100 tomatoes from last year.. I will definitely will let them grow next spring. Zukes are as always...one and dun.
