AHHHH....Rain

The garden received some much needed water today. At times torrential, this particular storm represented the first significant rainfall we'd had in weeks. We also got a reprieve from the recent heat and humidity with temperatures reaching only into the high 70's today.

While most of the veggies will greatly benefit from this storm, I did brave the rain to pick a few tomatoes that looked close to being ripe. The last thing I want is for these tasty orbs to split due to the sudden change in moisture.

On a sad note, one of my Titan sunflowers started to bloom a few days ago, only to snap and fall to the ground during the storm today. I'll have to stake the remaining three to ensure this doesn't happen again.
