1st tomato seen today. Everything growing well. We finally got some rain. The beans have sprouted well.

I have used some organic fertilizer on the Tomatoes and Peppers. It's from Gardens Alive and it works great- I have had good luck with it before.

Many blossoms on the tomatoes. Still need rain. Unseasonably warm. The drip irrigation system is being improved.

On the political front- How are we going to pay for all this military activity? Should we have war bonds or a war tax?

Tomatoes are doing well. 1 pepper died, 3 others are on the way out. 2 are doing well. The stems turned brown at the bases on the ones that did bad. I don't know why. We need rain.
