Phenology

Warm, humid.  It's not very often that the North Shore is issued an "excessive heat warning" but with highs in the mid to upper 80's and a humidity level of equal value we find ourselves laying around in the shade-too hot to tackle the projects that we had hoped to accomplish.  This may not sound "hot" to folks further south but keep in mind that the average annual temperature around here is 39.  Our tomatoes, however, are loving the heat.  This morning we noticed our first piece of fruit!
