Okay, here it is the 24th of June and we're under a heat advisory, but it's only 77 degrees. It's almost 12;30 and it's dark like the sun is getting ready to set. Every so often, you hear thunder boom, and the dog is freaking out.
I was out in the back yard where I opened three sides of the gazebo and was just chillaxing in one of the the new patio chairs we bought. I hear rain drops on the top of the gazebo. It was more than one or two. I sit there for a few more minutes and it starts to sprinkle a little harder and Chance is bugging me to go in. So, I zip up the sides and go into the house. It has since stopped sprinkling!
I was looking at the cilantro that has natualized in the "herb garden" up by the house. It's coming along just fine. I also see that there is a tomato plant growing in almost the same spot where there was one last year. It didn't produce the best tomatoes, but hey, I didn't have to buy it and it didn't take over the garden like the big yellow monsters I planted in the "south 20." We'll see how it does this year. Also, I noticed that there are "volunteers" in the south 20. You know, those plants that grow from the tomatoes that have fallen because you didn't get to them in time, or that the bugs got to, so you just leave them there.... So, I'm hopeful that we will have some yellow cherry tomatoes and some romas from those. The plant by the house is a roma. Mmmm, nothing like fresh salsa. Oh, and Caprese Salad (fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with olive oil, fresh garlic and basil!!!)
