Rain, oh no!

We've been enjoying a rain-free summer.  No front yard to mow.  Struggling weeds.  And for the tomatoes, regular but limited watering.  

Until this week that is.  Now we've been getting a preview of fall with cooler temperatures and occasional showers.  This was too much water for the tomatoes, which started to split.  I think the Cherokee Purples are supposed to turn, well, purple.  These still have green shoulders, but what was I to do when faced with splitting tomatoes?  So I picked these and was pleased to see that the green tomatoes haven't split.  

For dinner tonight: fish in tomato water
