Sure, blame us Barbara! I agree with Karen--it's our turn for the good weather this year.
Allison, I love your little tomato picker. Be glad she only steals some of the ripe ones. We had a basset hound who ate the green ones, so they never even had a chance. He used to squeeze between our picket fence and the rabbit fencing around the veggie garden (maybe a width of 6-8"). After eating too many tomatoes, he'd get stuck back there and just howl until we came and retrieved him. It took me a while to figure out why my tomato production was so poor until I discovered the culprit.
