Sometimes old wives tails really do hold truths.

 I've been frustrated with some of my plants because they've just been well....blah.
 Yes we've seen some things come from them, but the majority of it has been not what I was expecting.
 Granted the heat this summer has been trying on everyone and everything. So now that the heat has seemingly broken, what my grandmother, and several other peoples mothers/grandmothers have told us has proved true.
 My tomatoes decided that since it's not been in the 100 degree range as of late, they were ready to pounce.
They literally shot up a foot and now have around 10 tomatoes growing.

 Now that's not bad considering there are 6 tomato plants out there, but I'm hoping for more. Besides, that's really just the first three plants, the back three aren't quite as excited as the front ones.
 We also found out that our jalapenos, the tiny little things that they are, are extremely hot. I'm not sure how, or why, but they are!
 I am thinking that we might be making some killer salsa this year.
