Hot July

Everything seems to be growing several inches per day this month!  The cucumbers are harvesting like crazy.  What are supposed to be pickling cucumbers have been growing rapidly and being picked and eaten like standard cukes.  The skin is a tad bit tougher than a standard cucumber but that's not a bad thing.  Crunchy and delicious!

Hundreds of tomatoes hang from the limbs of the plants and at any moment we will be knee deep in Ponderosa, Black from Tula and Beam's Yellow pear tomatoes.  Homemade salsa isn't far behind either.

The backyard is blooming everywhere and looking lovely.  The pictures speak for themselves.



Baby ants?
