Tomato Update

The tomatoes have overtaken our deck. We have had several to eat so far - very yummy - and there are many more to come. Unfortunately, some creature also finds them quite good so we are trying to time out letting them ripen as much as possible on the vine while protecting them from being eaten by the tomato snatcher. Jim tried to bait the creature into eating a store bought tomato that he put out, but the animal is too smart for that. We have lots of peppers too, but most have bad spots that I believe was caused by a lack of bees. Who knew how much was involved? We are already planning on our garden for next year though.
