This year has been the perfect combination of rain and temperature, and I'm harvesting more black raspberries than ever in the last 20 years. I've eaten them by the bowl-ful, frozen some and given lots to my neighbors, and they're still coming.... Plus, they're a week earlier than usual.

Tomato plants are doing well; should have some nice ones if the critters don't get them first.

My favorite garden center had flats of annuals on sale, so I bought some zinnias & snapdragons. I put them in the strip between the sidewalk and the street, just for a little color.
