Green Tomatoes

I've blogged before about my mutant zucchini plants. I need to prune them again this weekend. Geez. But now my tomato plants are taking off. I may have to prune them as well (can you prune tomato plants without killing them?) because they're so heavy that they're falling over in their cages. I have a lot of tomatoes in the garden. Unfortunately, most of them are green, like these lovely roma tomatoes. I know they'll all ripen at once and I'll be buried in tomato skin and seeds.

While I was out in the back yard checking out my garden, a little bird kept stopping by to watch me. (below) I only had the 18-55 lens on the camera and the bird wouldn't let me get very close. So, this is the best I could do.



He just kept chirping and watching me pull up tomato cages and swat mosquitoes. I went in the house to get my telephoto lens, but he was gone by the time I came back out. He had the prettiest song. Well, it's been like animal kingdom in my backyard this summer, so I imagine he'll be back eventually.
