We predicted....

  We predicted our first ripe tomato would be ready by the 4th of July and we were right on!! Steve went out to check the garden yesterday and not only did he find more beans ready to pick this weekend but he found the first ripe tomato along with several more that will be ripe in a matter of days!!! :) Kaya was so excited she wanted to eat it last night lol but managed to wait until today. The child can eat her weight in tomatoes. I can't complain..they are healthy, she doesn't salt them and they are low cal!
   The garden is busting and growing like crazy. Hate the rain as far as mowing, swimming etc but love how it's helped the garden. You can water from tap water but nothing is like rain water. Our last bed we planted late.. tomatoes, chilies, jalepenos, corn and squash. That will be the bed we will have to see if it beats the fall cool temps. But we are trying to stagger out veggies and see how late we can go. We also will have the seed rack indoors with lights etc that we can transplant them to. 
  Sooo summer has officially began at the Hacienda :) Tomatoes, green beans ...sun, swimming, laughter and love. Can't complain about any of that :)
