Several more.
It’s so hot that they start to wrinkle before they’re evenly ripe. We should do like the professional growers do and put shade-netting over the whole garden plot. Or, in the old days, they grew their grapes on wines that formed a roof over the veggies – like a living pergola – thus shading the tender plants below.
The 3rd tomato of the season; ate the first two without taking a picture. There’s loads more; still green.

There was rain yesterday; and the day before; and a drizzle the day prior to that. Somewhat unheard of for June to 1) have rain; or 2) has 3 consecutive days of rain (might be 4 including today); or 3) have deluges that overflow that water troughs that catch the roof run-off. On the upside: the vegetable garden will be happy. On the downside, it rained so hard it knocked a bunch of limes off the tree.
