Frank, I am 50 miles south of SFO, in the (warmer) Los Gatos area. We are always 10 to 15 degrees hotter in the Summer. Raybo

I've picked 2 sungold, 1 beauty queen, 1 lemon, around 8 small black oval tomatoes (can't find the tag & can't remember the variety); these were already ripe when I picked them. I've also picked several early girls, which are coloring up in my kitchen. Yes, this looks better than last year to me, too! Good flavor so far & I think all varieties have set fruit. Other veggies are doing well, too - bean & zuke production will soon outpace my demand for them & peppers & eggs are setting fruits, tho they're small due to my sluggishness in getting them planted.

So we were out picking yellow squash yesterday. I picked one, turned around, and repo dog did her best "I'm a good girl, see how good I sit, now please feed me what you have!" --waggy tail and all. I said, "Are you really serious? You want to eat yellow sqash? *waggy tail*. So I gave her a yellow squash. She ate it. Then later she ate my cantaloupe rind. she is a weeeeeird dog. :)

Wow Ed! Stupice for the end of June!!! When did you plant them? I should have grown Stupice again, but was disheartened when they succumbed to some sort of fungal disease last year and decided to give them a miss this year. I was excited about my new early F1 (Yellow Pear derivative) but the taste just wasn't there. Maybe the next ones will taste better, and they might be improve with some seeds left in! I scraped them all out to ferment and save! Linda.
