Mowed my lawn this morning. I'm hopeful that will hold it until September, when the weather starts to cool and the grass starts growing again. Most years I don't need to mow in August.
Then I worked out in our garden plot. Every time I see the big bunches of Roma, San Marzano and Amish Paste tomatoes slowly ripening in the sun, I feel hungry for the great meals they're going to make after we roast, sauce and can them. We're growing 22 sauce tomato plants this year, so it will be a big canning effort in a couple weeks. We just used the last of our 2020 sauce in June. We've also got 4 cherry tomatoes and 3 slicers (Mortgage Lifter).
