I often have a lot of rotting and mildew in good summers. Our average summer rainfall is 3-4 inches a month (and humid). We easily had more than that this last week. It has been a rare week this summer without at least 2" of rain. I really think the spraying that I've been doing this summer has saved my garden. My tomatoes have lost a few branches due to disease. Usually they have lost most of their foliage by now(even in good summers). But the good part about the rain is that I haven't had any tomato end rot yet. The tomatoes the chipmunks are eating are perfect. ;><BR/><BR/>I really need to go out and buy bird netting. That does keep them mostly away. They tend to get tangled in it and don't try after a while. Since I cage my tomatoes it is really easy to wrap them up. I don't care much about the Orange Blossom tomatoes anymore. They are almost done, but I would like to taste an Aussie tomato and get more of my cherry tomatoes.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-18541236968034587622008-08-12T18:07:00.000-04:002008-08-12T18:07:00.000-04:00Your little carrot seedlings look so cute.

I wonder if there are any baffles you could try to keep the chipmunks away. We're constantly battling deer in my yard, but sometimes milk jugs strung up on poles help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-78867537323042656392008-08-12T17:28:00.000-04:002008-08-12T17:28:00.000-04:00Looks like your fall crop is doing well so far.
