Did I say before that I think I overdid it on my tomatoes in the garden? Now I'm quite sure of it! They're all growing intertwined together with one another and the tomatillos (which are also working hard to take over as much space as possible).

But on the up side, my basil has done better than ever this year because I planted it in between tomato plants. It has been shaded from our most drastic heat and hasn't bolted early.

And as of now, there are no little "flakes" in our local weather forecast and the low number for tonight is around 40. I think the green tomatoes and tomatillos will be OK after all! (But I may still pull a few to expose my kids to fried green tom's this evening anyway.)
