July better than half done.

It's almost time for tomatoes. I've gotten the harbingers of tomato, the first fruits. It's all grape tomatoes over here because my crappy yard cannot ripen full sized worthy tomatoes (Brandywines. I'm talking about Brandywines.) before frost in most years. Grape tomatoes at least get ripe, regularly, in quantity, in my less than stellar yard. And some tomatoes are better than no tomatoes.

Most years tomatoes are full on August but it's been reliably hot here and so the tomatoes are early. I'm OK with that. I've been watering them religiously (it's been hot and dry here for quite a while) so that they keep living and growing.

In other news, I'm still sucking at Spanish.
