Good morning my friends. How is everyone this morning? We hope all are fine and ready to get started this morning.
I’ve got a problem, and you are all probably asking, “What else is new, aren’t ya?” Well, as you know we’ve had our gardens here in central Florida planted now for the last several weeks. We’ve been getting banana peppers, some gypsy peppers, a bell pepper or two, and the cukes are fixing to start rolling in as well.
Our tomatoes are just loaded, and we ought to have some of them ripening just any day now. I’ve said this before but I can’t emphasize enough how badly I want that first of the year…tomato sandwich! I love them darn things.
Bonnie commented the other day she likes her fried green tomatoes, and starts with them first. I like to get a few ripe ones first, then turn into some green tomatoes, after having some ripe ones. She says…it’s a difference of opinion, and I have to agree.
Well, after the last few days, it looks as if I may in fact be eating some green ones fried first!
About a week ago, I went out to the raised beds, as those mothers are going to be giving me some tomatoes first, as they were planted two to three weeks prior to the garden tomatoes.
Well, I get to looking, and there’s a plant wilting, and then another. It looks JUST like a lack of water wilt, but it’s not. We water those jewels about once a week, and when I first noticed it, was about a week after the last watering, so…I watered them and told Deb, we need to watch a little closer, there were two plants in a wilt…
The next day, the same thing, but even more of the plant was in a wilt. We both knew then that we had some type of bug for sure, but probably some type of disease.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
