Finally, about August 1st we began to get ripe tomatoes! The vines are head-high and loaded with green ones.
The penta and coleus loved the Mississippi heat but required lots of water to survive.My camera lens clouded over when I came outside because of the sudden temperature change, giving a misty appearance where there was bright sunshine.-crop.JPG)

The blue daze were covered in little new blooms every morning, which closed up midday. We planted several varieties of tomatoes, which grew more than head-high before finally rewarding us with a bumper crop of golf-ball-size tomatoes. While eagerly waiting for ripe ones, we enjoyed some fried green tomatoes, a Southern favorite.
