Tomatoes!

Here are the first tomatoes! They are fairly small and there are only five of them, but I always crab about the lack of tomatoes early on; in a week or two I'll have more tomatoes than I will know what to do with. I'm hoping to make salsa this year and possibly freeze the rest of the tomatoes. I still have quite a bit of ketchup in the basement, but it does go fast so if I absolutely cannot find another way to use them, I'll make ketchup.

Something is eating on one of my green pepper plants. I think it's a rabbit because many of the leaves have been chewed off and there are holes in the peppers still hanging on the plant. It's times like these that I wish Buddy were useful. He's not. If he happens to see a rabbit he'll chase it until he gets tired, but he doesn't see them very often. Well, it's hard to see them if you never go outside. Depending how the green peppers turn out will depend on if I make salsa this year. I suppose I could try putting cages around the green peppers, but I've heard this crazy rumor that rabbits can dig holes and tunnels...
