Summertime!

Thought I'd add a couple shots from in front of our house. Judy's Lillies are in full bloom & this year they are bigger than my hand. They're just huge. And the prettiest pink & purple imaginable. If you look real close...just to the left of the flowers in the second picture...you can see our second crop (this year) of everbearing strawberries starting to take shape. They're super sweet this year too. You might have to click on the picture to enlarge it to see them better. They're "Quinnalts" (I think) and very tasty.

In the lower 2 pictures are my tomatoes. Late as usual...but I was late putting them in the pots. Judy ate the first (and only) red one the other day. Said it was a bit thick skinned but very tasty. I have 4 different varieties this year. Two large & 2 of the cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are red & yellow pear. Love the yellow ones. All the plants are in pots & sitting just off the top of the grass...but they're all about 5 ft tall already. Looks like a bumper crop. Hope you guys like tomatoes!!! ;-))

I pruned up some of your tomato plants when I was there on Sunday. Only 2 small tomato casualties. Oops. Anyway, I tagged you in my blog. You'll have to check it out and see.
Happy Birthday again.
