This morning, I checked on my plants on the back deck. All herbs are thriving, and the one cherry tomato plant has blooms and one wee tomato. Rain over the last couple of weeks sure has been nice since I haven't had to water. Rain is so much better for plants than city water.

Rain in forecast for tomorrow but if we don't have a good rain, it's back to watering my plants. My cherry tomato plant has tomatoes, waiting for them to ripen, to see how they taste.

I hope you have a good rain and don't have to water! My tomatoes are only a few inches high - no fruit in sight yet. I did see some flowers on the strawberries though! We only have a few plants, but I'm ready for strawberry season.

My flower and veggies planted from seed have struggled quite a bit. We have a few days of nice weather and then even more days of cooler temps and rain. Not sure what is happening but I don’t like it very much. I’ve never had problems growing marigolds from seed. This year it has been awful.

Heather, here's to you having a bumper crop of strawberries.
Karen, hope the weather gets sunnier for you and your plants begin to thrive.

For the last couple of days & nights we have been under a severe thunderstorm watch but very little rain made it to Paris so I'll watering this morning. I was wakened at midnight last night to a tornado warning. The call said one was on the ground northeast of Paris. Hope no one was hurt and no damage. Haven't heard this morning.
