What did you do in the garden today?

Still picking tomatoes. Plants stopped setting fruit when it was so very hot, but then started producing again and are loaded with green tomatoes that have just started ripening.

Question for someone. The ornamental lime green sweet potato plants that I used in the porch railing planters are producing tubers. Are they good to eat?

We aren't far behind you on those figures... Everything with shallow roots is dead unless it's being artificially watered. Even ancient, giant trees with deep roots are stressed for water. I dug down 9" in the garden and it's nothing but loose dust like Sahara sand. I don't think I've ever seen it like that during this time of the year.

Technically the ornamental sweet potato is edible, but usually doesn't taste like SP

Took years to get this bad going to take years to correct if ever what has done to this world.
