Judging by the low number of threads "below the line" this evening, everyone has been busy today. It's very hot here, though we had a short noisy thunderstorm this evening and now it feels like a sauna outside. I'd begun to water with the soaker hoses again, and saving dish water to take by the bucket out for strategic watering.

My heirloom tomatoes this year are a wash. If the darned cicada killer wasps weren't so pushy this year, I'd wade in and pull them out. They keep buzzing me and telling me to "move along!"

Tomorrow I'll pick some eggplants. I think there are a couple of good sized ones hidden in the foliage, and there are a lot of tomatoes growing into the eggplant.
