Just plain hot today.  Went to the garden with my coffee and a bottle of water at 6:30 this morning to enjoy the quiet and watch the titmice flit from branch to branch talking the entire time.  Dug up a few more potatoes and picked eight summer squash.  I've been enjoying the cherry tomatoes now for the past couple of weeks and this morning picked the first two black krim.
The green and deep red colors run into each other giving the tomato a rich appearance.  Also picked an Amish paste the other day, which is suppose to be excellent for sauces.  We've been without measurable rain for at least five weeks and the sprinkler just doesn't satisfy the garden as a good rain does.  As of this posting at 3:15, the temperature is mid 90's.
