State of the Garden Address

The state of the garden is good. In fact, exceptional.

Late May and early June have been unreasonably wet and unseasonably warm, both conducive to steroid-like growth in the vines.

These are likely the biggest tomato plants I've seen at this point in the growing season in over a decade or before measurements were recorded, whichever is sooner. The only problems seem to be a) the lowest leaves are crisping-brown due to the heat, and b) the effrontery of weeds which seem to appear literally over night. They like heat and water too, and who can blame them? There's a reason we all go to Florida...
