But first a word from our sponsor, Baby Teeth: Try to leave home without them.
At 4 am Evie woke up and wiggled her tooth out. She was disappointed to find out that the Tooth Fairy had already made the rounds through Indiana by that time. She is going to try again tonight. As for the rest of those baby teeth, they should be gone before school starts in two weeks and that should make corn on the cob really interesting. (By the way, the scrape on her nose is from the bottom of the pool when she was doing backwards underwater sommersaults)
On to the Ag Report. It's hotter than an oven out here. Today, our thermostat said 108. The plants are loving this heat as long as I remember to water them.
Some of the killer tomato plants. This one is just starting to ripen. Our friends should have a good crop next week!
I had to take a picture of this poor pepper plant. Until this year, I have had pretty normal pepper plants that yielded 3 or 4 peppers and even then, they weren't much to get excited about. This poor plant has 7! and they could all be picked any time!
The killer tomato swarm. I may take a break from the yellow pear salad tomatoes next year as they seem to just grow out of control and try to smother everything else around them.
Our new tree is doing ok. Can you tell that we are watering it? The rest of the grass has gone dormant. Please don't tell Jim it's dead or he will freak out. Our water bill doesn't need that kind of drama.
And this year's grand experiment continues. The hops plant is about 8 feet long and has wrapped itself along the fence. If you look closely, those little spiky things are the flowers. We are hoping that it matures enough to send Uncle Mike down in TX some of them for his home brew.
