summer in full swing

The heatwave sweeping giant chunks of North America has slowed me down – I feel like a turtle slowly lumbering through my day. Thankfully, the backyard garden doesn’t feel that same way about 100 degree temps and lots of sunshine.

The first hint of a corn tassel.

This is what happens when you plant tomatoes in good dirt. You can see them, but there’s so much other stuff in the way that you can’t really figure out how to get to them.

The first crop of Sun Golds and Mexico Midgets. Seeing the red through the crazy mutant Amazonian tomato jungle was a complete fluke.

    • I have a feeling once they really get rolling we will be sick of tomatoes. Most of the plants are cherry or grape tomatoes because we love popping them in salads or in our mouths – I usually get tomatoes for canning at the farmers’ market.
