The Roma tomatoes will be harvested tomorrow 2-3 pounds look to be ready. My history with romas is not so good, these are looking great! The Jubilee tomatoes should be ready very soon too.
While feeding the bees late this afternoon I kept hearing odd noises in the big oak tree by the pond. Later I went out to turn on the sprinkler and watched a Northern Cardinal fledgling in the garden path, must have just flew out of the nest. Both parent cardinals were watching ever so carefully, I left them alone to watch over their baby.
The temperatures are still hot as it can get here, Friday is calling for 102 (39c) degrees. Dry, yes it is very dry, we had a couple small showers a few days ago, got a little water in the rain totes, the new one got at least 20 gallons, I used some of that water yesterday.

red is the word this day for those tomatoes and cardinals
Great harvest. Cherokee Purple is on my list for next season.
Wow Randy, those are so deliciously looking tomatoes. Congratulations that you are now harvesting the real fruits of your labor! More to come.
Wow, ripe tomatoes already. They look so good. Ours are just lil' green nubbins yet.
That's really neat how fast the water totes can fill a watering can. I'm glad to hear it's working out. Now all you need is a good gully-washer and you'll have full totes. Nothing like rain water for the plants.
Great harvest. Those Cherokee Purples look fab. I want some!
Sorry to hear you didn't get any of the recent rain. It is about as hot as it can get isn't it?
Great-looking tomatoes. For the second year in a row our tomatoes are kind of a bust. We need to grow the heirlooms in pots and I think all need more lime.
