It’s about ten thousand degrees outside, and I am physically worthless today, so my outdoor activities have consisted of nothing more than watering the plants on the porch and training the snap peas to grow on the trellis. Did you know, if you are really patient, you can actually see the little feelers gripping onto the thing you want them to grip onto? Well, you can, but you have to be really, really patient … like fifteen minutes worth of patient.

And as if to thumb their nose at me, those Better Boy tomatoes (I’d been calling them Best Boy, which is wrong) grew a couple of inches in the last 24 hours, and one of them now has blooms on it. I guess I have to let them live.

I’m beginning to consider that I need to think of things to do with a lot of tomatoes, because I am now beginning to suspect I am going to have a lot of tomatoes later this summer.

In other garden news, those two banana peppers are getting bigger! I didn’t even have to use the macro lens on the camera this time!
