I’m jealous about the tomatoes. I still don’t have enough sun in my backyard to really get tomatoes to go crazy. I did get a few this year and I have several that look like they want to grow. But it’s getting late in the season, so I’m not sure what more we’ll get.

I do have what appears to be a sick tree though. As much as I enjoy the shade, if it has to go, it has to go. And that’ll open up my backyard to more direct sun…and possibly a shot at growing tomatoes next year.
