The end of summer is always crazy and I have been busier than I have every been — mostly covering for people on vacation but I also have a few big projects going on at work. It has also been crazy hot, so on my days off I am usually pretty worn out and if I wasn’t, it has generally been too hot to work in the yard.

Upside of that is that, assuming I can keep them watered, the tomatoes have been great this year. I was pretty bummed out that the plant that was suppose to be a stupice (my favorite slicing tomato) turned out to be a grape tomato. Oh well. Also, once again, the stripy roma keeps getting blossom rot — problem with under watering. But the green zebra, black krum, and yellow boy are awesome and super flavorful, although not very big — think golf ball.

Black krums and green zebras

Lemon boys. These made awesome sauce!

The full mix, from a different harvest than the other two pix. The yellow boys became the sauce to go with the zucchini, which was transformed into a kick-ass veggie lasagna.
