I think this time last year I had harvested about ¾ of my tomatoes. As you can see in the photo I sot today all you can see is green! Looks like I will be eating a lot of fried green tomatoes! Last summer was hot and dry and this summer has been rainy and cooler than usual.
Earlier I showed the expandable pocket hose I bought to replace my heavy indestructible rubber hose, like Spuds! Well when he gets my age he will be tired of dragging it around.
I have used it at least 3 times a week to water my garden and all my flowers this summer. I love that thing, light to drag around and easy to put away. You have to treat it a little better than most hoses.
I always wondered what the inside hose looked like without the outer nylon covering. I found out when the grandson had a large rubber like snake filled with water hanging around his neck; it was 2 inches in diameter and about 4 feet long. I wanted to get a pic of it but it burst before I could get a photo. Below is a shot of the left overs. The longest piece was the one that was 4 feet long.
He got the hose from a friend, who was dragging it around the corner of the house and it got caught on a piece of sharp siding and burst. The kids were playing with it like water balloons. To me it looks like what surgical gloves are made of only thicker.
