The Tomato Plant Grim Reaper

 Riverton, Utah                 High 96 Low 66

It has been really hot lately and the weather guessers are predicting lots more 100 degree or hotter days in Salt Lake. We probably will set a new record for the most 100 degree days in July.

Cindy has been busy in her garden. We have had a lot of zucchini and some yellow crock neck squash. We even had one fresh tomato from her garden. She planted about 20 tomato plants. The only problem is that 7 of them got curly leaves and were ready to die. We listen to a gardening show on Saturday mornings and whatever our plants got, is all over the place. They suggested pulling the dying ones out so whatever it is they got will not spread to the other plants. They think it is some kind of plant virus that came with the seeds when the tomatoes were planted. Some kinds of tomatoes seem to be more prevalent than others. We are hoping no more of the plants get it.

Cindy took some pictures of our garden and yard.


These two flowers are so tall, that Cindy put in a support to keep them upright.





In the background are some of the more healthy tomato plants. The bare dirt on the left is where she took out the dying plants.



I have been busy quilting, as usual. 

Thanks for visiting.

  1. Weird about the tomatoes. I've heard from others here that many plants grew like crazy, but produced nothing. Your garden looks wonderful!!!!! I'm ready for the hot weather to stop.
