Re: first tomatoes

I have lots of green tomatoes, but none near ripe yet.  After complaining
about my zukes, I did find one that actually grew - a couple more days to go
on it.  My lettuce is finished too, as are the strawberries and peas.

Surprise of the day - I planted potatoes for the first time this year (a
friend gave them to us all dusted and ready) but didn't expect much because
I planted them too close together to be able to make hills.  Well, I went
out today and noticed they were all looking pitiful, esp. the red ones.
What happened? I wondered.  Bugs?  Lack of rain?  Too many weeds? :)  Well,
duh - I started digging.  Sure enough, I had quite a few taters in there
ready for harvest.  It was like digging for buried treasure. :)  I thought
they'd take longer than that - now I can use that space for another crop of
beans, if the bunnies don't eat them all like they did the last patch.
