1. Keep Watering - Don't let one heavy rain stop you from checking on your plants. Water from Mother Nature is great, but it isn't always consistent. Plants need consistent, deep waterings, especially when they are big and full of veggies. My garden gets a good deep watering twice per week, and we still check and spot water most afternoons when it gets hot. Consistent watering leads to great harvests.
2. Scout - This part of gardening is fun and necessary. Grab your favorite morning beverage and take a walk through your garden to take stock of what's going on. Not only does it allow you to enjoy the fruits of your labors, sneaking a taste of your tomatoes before anyone else gets to them, but it also lets you watch for issues. The bigger the plants and the more veggies they are producing, the more bugs you'll find coming your way. Note if you see any insects and make a plan to spray with Neem Oil or Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew if needed. We're also getting humid, which means disease can start to creep in. Watch for black or brown spots in leaves and if needed, treat with a Copper Soap Fungicide. You only have to keep the plants happy for a few more weeks, since by July most production will be finished.
