Tomatoes and cosmos and sunflowers, oh my!


It's August, which is, officially, Tomato Season. And we are Tomato People. The bowls you see here are each a random day's gatherings, and minus what the teeny bunny who lives in our garden eats (she's not so bad, and we can spare the toms.) We still love tomatoes, and all is good.
Gracie's cosmos and Peter's sunflowers are also looking gorgeous - it's funny to see something more than ten feet tall that started as a seed (and in the case of the tallest sunflower, a seed casually flung in the middle of a tomato cage.) They're blooming like crazy and we're really enjoying these last few weeks of summer. Next year, I think we'll be a bit more organized about our gardening - fewer misplaced seeds, more variety, some raspberries, that kind of thing. It's always the way of things - next season calls to you even as this season is doing its wild, crazy, bountiful thing.
