8/15/22 First cucumber this year! The bees really like the sunflowers. Collecting tomatillos when they fall off.

It's supposed to be a little warmer this week. High 50s at night and high 70s during the day. We are down to 14 hours of daylight. Still very humid but no rain so soil is dry. 

Coldframe garden and west garden. Sylvetta arugula is going to seed but its leaves are still tasty. Getting thai and ancient peppers.

Front circle garden. The bees really like the sunflowers. Nasturiums and tagetes marigold are doing well. I have been trimming lower leaves of sunflower so ground cherries get more light.

Planted seedlings along edge of patio.

Harvest. Tomatillos are sticky under the skin. Once I get enough I am going to roast them for 15minutes at 400F before making salsa. 

This looks like a good link for recipes. https://www.mexicanplease.com/can-make-tomatillos/ It says roasting tomatillos tames their tartness and makes them sweeter.
