Today:
* Repaired fig stake, probably blown apart in wind.
* Continued dead-heading Spanish lavender.
* Pruned tomatoes. This is often discouraged though I don't understand why. I've heard that the cuts can open the plant to disease, but in 10 years I've never experienced that (knock on wood). I find that pruning increases air flow, reducing the chance of fungal and bacterial problems, and gets light onto the flowers in the center of the plant, increasing fruit production.
