Last few days it did not rain, the tomatoes loved that!
I've lost all my tomatoes so far to blight as the spores get kicked up to underside of leaves along with soil by frequent rains, and soon the whole plant wilts.
This season I've been trimming lower leaves, applying homemade curd on the cuts when trimming in wet weeks and spraying whey on young fruits. The plants have come further than previous tries.

*nods* they can wait then.

Can't run 1800W electrical equipment on solar? Don't have large propane burners? No problem 😅

Is there any Mastodon client on Android that can draft posts, attach photos and add captions while offline and post them opportunistically as and when network is available?
Asking for a me who loses connectivity in the hills but takes breaks and can prepare posts that'll get posted as I cross villages and get connectivity for a few minutes.

Long day today. Despite the intense evening showers, today gave more opportunities to get work done in the garden, which also means I'm good tired and ready to pass out any moment.

Started off as a sunny day, had light clouds through mid-day. I was gathering and shredding dried leaves from the banana patch for mulching new beds until…

Another masterstroke by the incumbents, shut down local weather advisories for farmers so they can privatise and monetise the services. When farmers can't keep up their margins through well-timed information, they won't afford to protest the other shenanigans.
