Rain and disease

I took these pictures in late May before I left for Ireland. We had cool, cloudy, rainy weather for weeks. It took a toll on the tomato plants- the vegetable grower next door diagnosed early blight and said their tomatoes had the same problem:


The lettuce didn't seem to mind. Finger for scale. Check out how much they grew in the next post. The pollen is from the black walnut tree on the other side of the shed.





The grass in the field was tall when I left. And even taller now- somewhere in between knee and thigh high.
