Robins and Lettuce

Except for a week long heat wave when we got back from the beach this has been the most delightful summer.  The robins have been hanging around and singing!  I don't remember that from other years.  It is really nice to hear them.  And they are still nesting.  I spotted this nest a while back and took this picture this morning.
This year I grew Jericho lettuce.  It has been fabulous!!!  Ten plants have provided lettuce for weeks now.  I have some seedlings still in cups and somehow they are still hanging on. I plan to plant them and see if they can still make it.
And finally are getting our first ripe tomatoes off of the Juliet grape tomato.  I think the tomatoes are getting a little too much afternoon shade, so they have been really slow this year.
