Roma tomatoes, I think.
None of the tomatoes are ripe yet and my nightmare is that they will all ripen at once.
DD was driving her bus when she noticed one of the tires was flat. She called dispatch and they came out with another bus for her passengers. It was all done quickly and she finished her route just a few minutes off schedule. She said she was worried that her superiors would think the flat was her fault but they quickly assured her she hadn't done anything wrong - equipment breaks down.Driving a city bus is hard work and she has developed callouses on her hands from gripping the wheel. She's been reluctant to wear gloves but now realizes she must. Two days a week she has a split shift with a 3-hour break. It makes the day much longer but she doesn't mind because it gives her a break from the physical demand of driving eight hours straight. Wednesday and Thursday are her days off. When her probation period is over (July 17th) she can work all the overtime she wants and plans on working 6 days a week.
We haven't seen her drive yet but may catch a ride with her one of these weekends - I'll bring my camera when we do. She still finds time to attend meetings and has a great support group. It hasn't always been easy but she's hanging in there and doing a good job.

Your veggies look beautiful.
Tell DD that all of blogland is proud of her and to keep up the good work.
Go ahead and brag....we have n.o.t.h.i.n.g. planted. It has been raining, the garden fencing is not fixed and we may starve to death....send tomatoes!!!
Mom - thank you. I will tell her that.
Rosemary - all we're eating so far is swiss chard which fits nicely in an envelope. That should help you hang on until the tomatoes are ready. ;-)
