Tomato Update

I was so set to share my homegrown tomatoes with Dearest Sister. We had ONE! The rest just sat on the vine, refusing stubbornly to ripen one whit.

Stupid tomatoes. (Not really. I take that back. I love my tomatoes. Please don't tell them I said that.)

Dearest Sister and I did share the one, each of us having a delicious BLT, when everyone else was out and about, and it was very yummy, indeed. We didn’t share with anyone else. I made homemade chocolate chip cookies, and homemade ice cream, and we had fresh corn on the cob while everyone was here, and…and…and…we don’t have to share my one tomato if no one else is around! Gosh.

Monday, the day Dearest Sister left? I picked two. Go figure.

I have 2 little finger sized zuchinnis that I will probably pick this week-end. I also have had some beautiful pumpkin blooms, and a wonderful vine, but no fruit there, or on the yellow squash plant. Might get some, might not.

I spent a good deal of time outside in the yard on Tuesday, deadheading and weeding. That felt very good. July was busy, and some things had gone a little wild. At least a portion of the yard is back in control. My intent was to continue around the beds last night, but darn it, we had rain! It was the first real moisture we have had in about 30 days, so I put up with it. I might get some work outside done today.

Or not.
