[Arid_gardener] Tomato Plants Drying Out/Dying

[KLH718 at aol.com]

Actually, Dick, I've been wondering when we're going to have our very own 
"Martha Stewart of the Low Desert".  Wanna take it on?  Some beautiful 4-color 
production, with by-the-month commentary on what's going on in the garden, and 
what can \ should be done, plus seasonal recipes.  Maybe it's out there & I 
just don't know about it?  I literally am still trying to figure out when my 
produce is ready for harvest - I put it in the ground, then am not sure when to 
keep an eye out for picking it.

Carolyn, thank you so very much for that insightful e-mail about tomatoes.  

I was taken aback (and then shocked at myself) when a friend from 
Philadelphia said she wakes up in the summer & decides what she's going to serve for 
dinner from what's ready in the garden.  It's becoming clear that one of the 
reasons I was shocked was that she'd even want to spend any time out of doors in 
June \ July \ August, much less that things are growing out there.  

Happy gardening!
Karen
