Tomatoes and More Tomatoes

Monday, August 12, 2024
Hello friends,
              Happy Birthday to Christin who is in Austria for the next year!  Whoo hoo!  Last week I was complaining about the heat, and just like that, it was much cooler.  Wow, did I feel silly!  We went to the rodeo on Friday night and had to wear a wrap to be comfortable.  So pleasant!  However, we didn’t get beneficial rainfall yet.  I know, I know, it’s in the forecast.  Did you get rain in Kansas City this morning?  Yes?  It stayed north and we didn’t get rain.  The cloud cover has been nice, but Lord, we need rain.  Maybe tonight?  Or tomorrow?
              Tomatoes and more tomatoes!  Big beautiful beefy tomatoes.  Tomatoes that break your heart to cut up and can or freeze.  But I certainly don’t want them to go to waste, so can and freeze I will.  Bill would tell you that I planted too many.  It’s so hard to limit myself to only 4 varieties and only four of each plant.  That potent compost just caused them to grow like crazy.  And the bell peppers are huge!  I’m not complaining at all!  Nope!  Just needing to get busy putting it up…
