This summer has been brutal as you all know. The tornado’s of May completely devastated parts of mid-town and north St. Louis. The blistering heat of July and August paired with the lack of rain has left lawns thirsty and gardens suffering.
Although I planted in May, I’m still trying figure out when my tomatoes will be ready for harvest. I’ve only gotten a few ripe Better boys, no Yellow boys or Roma’s. But my grape and cherry tomatoes are providing me a snack almost anytime I go out to my garden.
I still have a lot of green ones but I thought I would at least have some ripe by now. Anyone like fried green tomatoes?
As I write this, school has started and excited students are ready to get back with their friends. Teams are in training with the anticipation of a winning season. Parents of seniors will begin investigating college opportunities.
We all will be looking forward to the change of season and the crisp cool air of autumn, Before we know it snow, ice, slush and we will be longing for the heat of summer. And so the cycle continues…
