Cold tomatoes
We've been grooving on the cooler temperatures, but our tomato plants don't all like it; one heirloom variety is developing nasty black bottoms on its fruit, which must be discarded. Must face brass facts: Summer is half over.
Beloved offspring loaned me a couple of old collections of sci-fi writer, Robert Silverberg. Good creepy fun, and interesting to find out that Silveberg started publishing his stories in pulp mags before he was old enough to vote, back in the 1950's. A bit corny in spots, but good reading. He's still alive, 75 years old, and considered an elder statesman of science fiction.

Yes, summer is half over. The light is already changing, as we watch the sun rising further and further to the south. Our tomatoes are so-so this year. We've had very foggy mornings lasting until noon almost everyday. The carrots, though, sweet as can be.
This is a delicious time of year, as long as you don't have to start fretting about going back to school...
