Can you believe that August is starting to wind down?! My least favorite month is almost over -- and it hasn't been too bad. This week has been especially lovely: lots of rain showers, cloudy days, cool nights. I'm still snipping lots of flowers and picking tomatoes everyday. I haven't spotted a tomato hornworm in...

Hello Monday
