Rain Rain Go Away







It's amazing I know but I actually prayed for the rain to stop this summer. Well not really, but, the weather in the Springs has been most unkind to our tomatoes, lot's of rain and cooler temps, as you can see, we got lots of green but very few ripe red tomatoes. We also had several storms that included hail and the tomatoes we have been able to harvest have all been scarred by hail. It seems though that trend has stopped and we are experiencing some nice warm sunny days and warm nights. Of course it's already the beginning of September so more than likely this will change. I am hoping that we will be able to harvest at least half of the tomatoes before the fall frosts set in.

This summers experiment with gardening in CO has led me to the conclusion that we must build a greenhouse once this years growing season is over. I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the progress of that project.
