Leo, that's usually how I approach any new crop in the garden. Put in a few, see how they do, think about what must be done to make them better, and decide if you want to do it again. One of these years I do want to plant potatoes. I'm never early enough. Last year I grew corn, which is why this year I didn't grow corn. It's a lot of work for a small return.

Gave 4.5 lbs of green tomatoes to a friend today. They're from a plant I trimmed out of the garden path and that was leaning too hard on my eggplants. I have plenty of other tomatoes. I should have pulled this when it was small, but it seems so counter intuitive to pull the very things you're trying to grow! (I know, things need to be thinned, but I'm not real good at that, either. I try to plant my seeds far enough apart to begin with.)

We've had about a week of 100+ weather, and another week of it looms. I'm still watering infrequently, but watering deeply when I do. The garden is holding up so far.
