And it rained quite a bit, too. In fact, my rainwater storage is at 25% again, which is a welcomed sight during the oppressive heat right now. However, an abundance of blossom end rot will be present on the tomatoes in upcoming weeks, but that's ok.
Speaking of tomatoes, here's a nice Brandywine that grew between the wire mesh of the trellis. I'll have to cut it out with a knife to save it.
In other news, the butternut squash is finished, and a new planting of summer squash has already taken their place in the 4x9 box next to the woods.

Yay, rain! I don't know what I'd do with it, but good for you. I can't believe your squash is done already. We're behind, that's for sure. Good to read of your garden.
Glad you got some rain. That tomato is going to be a challenge to harvest!
Glad you got your rain! Very nice butternuts too. Being a northerner, it seems strange to me to see them anytime before September! It's great that you will have time for more summer squashes in that spot.
Oh, I hate it when the tomatoes (or squash, or melons, or cucumbers) grow into the wires of the fence! My butternut squash are trying to grow through the 1" plastic mesh! I have to go out every day and head them in another direction.
I'm glad you finally got some rain. I'm now out of rain water, too. Just waiting on some rain at my house in the next few days hopefully.
Wow butternut squash finished already. Mine haven't even set any fruits yet. I have one squash set on my tetsubuko but that is it so far. I hope they get to it soon.
Glad when anyone gets rain lately. Have fun getting that poor tomato out. It looks delicious, though.
That tomato does look really good!
