I'm not sure if I should be sad that the weather isn't like normal or not. Usually it is much cooler here over the summer. It doesn't make for a perfect trial, but does make for good tomatoes.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-43230471464329258052010-06-24T12:04:12.050-07:002010-06-24T12:04:12.050-07:00Oh wow!
