From MyFolia

I harvested the entire batch of King of the Garden limas and came out with little over half a pound of seed for storage. There were a few ripe pods which I threw in the pot and enjoyed. In other news I also picked my first Mountain Spring tomatoes and a single Arkansas Traveler.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Mountain Spring which I purchased from a local greenhouse. They were supposed to be early season tomatoes but failed to blossom until well after I the Roma tomatoes were showing fruit. The tomatoes are large and appear to be tasty but I think production with be very light. Granted I could blame the lack of production and ripening on my soil PH which I had to make an emergency correction too. However the other plants and tomatoes are doing well leading me to believe that this is just a weaker or, gasp, ill suited breed for my growing conditions.

In other news I just dropped a few dollars for my fall crop including Yellow Multiplier Onions and French Gray Shallots. I also plan to put down a winter mix of greens in a few weeks.

UPDATE: I added some Plant Tone organic fertilizer to the watermelon, tomatoes, and four "second batch" cantaloupes. Hey, who knows if the weather is fair well into September I may see a ripe one yet!
