Produce!



So we have some future tomato sauce here, courtesy of our somewhat aging tomato plants, which have overgrown their cages and are sagging with fruit. And Peter's got a carrot there, despite what you might think (for example, "That's not a carrot! Carrots are bigger than that! And orange!") That is a late-planted carrot, dug up by the curious (Mom and Peter), and unsuccessfully transplanted to a bucket of soil in the front yard. Unsuccessful because Peter promptly dug it up and ate it, without benefit of any kind of washing prior to the eating. Yes, this is the kid who owns a shirt that says, "I Eat Dirt." He reported that it was "yummy!" and I'm hoping we get some slightly more robust carrots before our first hard frost.
