Hot, hot, and more hot here in Central Missouri over the weekend, but on the bright side my tomatoes and cucumbers are beginning to produce.

I took 30lbs of cull tomatoes and half a bushel of cucumbers to the produce auction in Clark on Friday, met the owner, and got squared away on how to do business with those folks.

We made the first BLTs of the season over the weekend, and a gallon of tomato/cucumber/basil salad. Yummy on the tummy!

The roma tomatoes are loaded. I've got a local mexcan food truck lined up that will take up to 10 cases/week for as long as they are producing. First delivery should be towards the end of this week.

The sunflower field is loving all of the recent rainfall. We've gotten a little over 10" at my house since the last week of June.

Sunflowers look great!

Mine seem to be feeding the local deer population, not sure if any will get to actually flowering. The birds will be unhappy.

Thanks for the pics. The amount of rainfall we have had is a lot for July weather, but I’ve lost track of the amount we have had this month.

Great news on your production/sales.
