So, the fig tree’s rocking loads of new leaves – a great sign, right? And those paper towels hanging out under the rocks? Doing an awesome job, keeping the moisture in check for the little roots, so they’re not drying out crazy fast. Now, brace yourself for some hot and dry days, classic for this time of year.

The tomato plant leaves are starting to say their goodbyes, but guess what? I’ve already snagged more than 200 cherry tomatoes and 5 cucumbers – perfect for those easy-breezy work salads!

Lost a big tomato to some hungry critter, but no worries. Wrapped the whole tomato plant in double layers of bird netting, and bam! Scored a whopping 290-gram tomato.

Took care of the rest of the tomato crew, trimmed them up, and now, just waiting for those beauties to turn red or grab ’em right before the birds catch on. Quick tip: toss ‘em in a bowl, throw some light their way – they’ll ripen like champs.

Sure, the tomato plants might be looking a bit shaggy, but hey, they’re like my green pals, and I’m giving them the royal treatment in their golden years.
