July.
So, lesson learned, try trellising the tomatoes next year OR go with my dad's suggestion of building my own really high tomato cages out of that wire concrete grid you can get in a roll. I have yet to determine which would be easiest or more cost effective in relation to the space it takes up in the raised bed.
Another lesson I have already learned early in the season is that I really need a dedicated pumpkin patch. You always hear the terms pumpkin and patch together, but I never really understood that it was practical rather than literary. Folks, dont let your pumpkin vines crawl all over your front lawn. Already I have to hold the vines up when my husband mows. And, I totally envision just telling my neighbors across the street that anything that fruits on their side is finders keepers.
I am making notes in my garden journal...its going to be a long and glorious season!
