Another Record for Heat, Some Rain, and Varmits in the Tomatoes

Yesterday brought another new record high temperature, 104 degrees, and a surprise -- an evening thunderstorm! The half-inch of rain was the first in my neighborhood since July. Needless to say, it was very much welcome.

Some varmints (probably raccoons) had even started to eat my tomatoes, probably because the summer has been so hot and dry that they have no other food.

Were the eaten tomatoes low to the ground? If so, it likely was our turtle friends....they like to do that.

I'd forgotten about the turtles!
You're probably correct, as they were the culprits last year (even caught in the act of eating a tomato).
