Sugar Sweet Cherry Tomato

 The garden is still growing but gets drier every day. Watering is not the same as "mother nature" or as time efficient. It is very discouraging to put the time and work into getting a garden out and then the weather takes over.
But that is what you endure to grow your own food.
I shudder to think what our grandparents had to put with.

Right now, we are fighting a ghost pest. It is targeting our green tomatoes. We find 3 or 4 laying on the ground every day with little bite marks or holes in them. We thought it might be deer because you can see in the dirt around the garden where they had their square dance the night before. But we also have lots of wild turkeys that stroll by the garden every day.

Then there are turtles, rabbits, ground hogs and squirrels. But I never thought anything would eat a "green" tomato. They haven't touched the ripe ones yet. Now that I've said that, they will probably start in on the red ones!!

The raspberry plant are new this year. I am trying to grow food of any kind. Raspberries are high in vitamins and fiber so we will give them a try.
