Ha. We finally got some ripe tomatoes too. So we have been alternating between Club Sandwich and BLT. Plus a slice or two tomato with almost every meal. Soooooo good!

Can you believe all the rain we are getting this year in JULY???? We got another 1.5 last night. Weeds are growing like wild fire.

Left the house Saturday morning to go fishing - rained out.
Left the house yesterday morning to pick up alfalfa bales for the horses - rained out.
It even rained on us yesterday when we took a break from doing chores and went swimming.

But I managed to get the yard mowed and the weeds whacked in the garden in between rains.

I’m befuddled at the tomato situation this year. You couldn’t ask for better weather to grow them, but we’re not getting many at all. I’ve got 20 plants out, well... I had 20 plants out. Two of the black cherry croaked, and one of the brandywine is trying to croak now. I should be picking five gallons three times a week. I’m not getting five tomatoes three times a week. It’s pathetic.
