Missed my goal by a couple of days this year, but still the week of July
4th. Sausalito won the race this year. I did pick a couple of big
green ones for my wife to fry up for herself. Not the biggest of course!

Lots of green ones and blooms so this year looks good, not like last year.

I will be picking my first tomato (SunSugar) maybe today, and there is color
showing on the '4th of July' plant. Planted out last week of May, started
indoors second week of April. Held indoors far longer than I would have
liked due to miserable May weather, so they got a bit spindly but they
are extremely robust now, with lots of green tomatoes.

I've got a few small tomatoes going, but nothing ready to turn red.
The plants I started from seed aren't nearly as tall as those from
store-bought plants.

The tomatoes I started in a bucket are doing ok, there's one fruit, but
many more blossoms. They weren't doing so well until a week ago when I
trimmed several of the weak-looking branches off. Now they're doing
much better. :-)
