My tomatoes are looking so good. I have plenty of green ones that I'm anxiously waiting to turn red. We've had two red ones and they were wonderful! I forget how delicious garden tomatoes are when I'm so used to store bought tomatoes.
See these patty pan squash growing under there? They are ripe and ready to be picked but I can't pick them!
...because of the bees! There is a big, fuzzy one in every flower. And one flower had three! I wasn't all that bothered by them until the other night. My mom stopped by and I offered to pick her some squash. I reached in to move the branches and grabbed right onto a bee. Ouch! It got me between my thumb and index finger. It still hurts a little.
And here is what a baby patty pan looks like. Aren't they cute? Charlie loves to see how the seeds we planted turn into branches, then leaves, then flowers, then squash. A great learning process! If I get the courage we will pick some later today and deliver them to our neighbors. What else can I do with hundreds of patty pans?

Oh, gosh! Your tomatoes look great. Ours are done down here. They've all burned up in this 104 degree heat with no water.
Your garden looks great! Yikes - I'm leary around bees too - but they are obviously doing their job pollenating all your flowers since you have so much produce! :)
