Squash plants
See how large the tomatoes are growing!
Basil and parsley
Some of the abundance of tomatoes on the vine.
Summer is officially here! It has been a scorcher already and we are not even into July yet. But the good thing about all this sunshine is that my tomatoes are loving it. We have planted 4 tomato plants in large buckets as well as 2 squash plants, beans, and quite a few herbs. Everything is growing beautifully. Hopefully soon we will have tomatoes to enjoy as well as squash. We are already loving the herbs. It is so nice to be able to walk outside on the patio and clip some fresh herbs for our dinner each night. Tonight alone I used chives and parsley. I need to make more basil pesto (I have already made 5 batches) before the plant gets out of hand! Hope you enjoy the warm summer weather as much as we are. Evenings are nice as the boys (and Steve) get to run around and play baseball outside while not melting in the hot sun.
