As the song goes, "We are having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave."
It's 104F in the shade today, after a thunderstorm with showers to begin this week. September is like this in California. I hate September. But the Green striped tomatoes have set fruit and more blossoms. I hope this means we will have some bragging rights to Heirloom Tomatoes in October. Yay!
One thing we don't have - usually - is frost at this time of year. That waits until January and February. HERE is a page of Heirloom Tomatoes to pour over. I think ours are Aunt Ruby's German Green Tomatoes but I'm not entirely sure. Jimmie grew them for her plant sales. They could be Black Zebras. I hope we get some tomatoes soon! I will be watering them, and fertilizing, like a mad woman so as not to have them drop the fruit!
Roll on October! This is not knitting weather. But I am forging along with the second Yukon Leaves sock. The name reminds me that cold weather is on the way, well, chilly weather, when I can snuggle up to the sweaters in the comfy chair and knit as long as I'd like.
