My ex was over today and cooperatively helped by picking the various tiny cherry tomatoes that I have ignored for a few days. He didn't take any home with him because he still has some from the last time he helped pick the cherry tomatoes. I ended up with an extra plant this year, and while cherry tomatoes will set fruit when it's too hot for everything else, they get to be tedious after a while.

It's time to start new squash from seed; the current ones had a pretty good run, but they've been under assault by squash beetles for a while now and are looking really tattered and yellow. We have a long growing season so I should get another crop in September and October. Eggplant and okra are just getting started and there are a few small poblano peppers; they'll really take off in the fall. It seems ironic that hot peppers are happier in the cooler weather. :)
