Thessaloniki is going through a second wave. We didn't harvest Thessaloniki from July 31 to August 12. August 13, 1 tomato. 5 more empty days, then 1 tomato on August 19. Since August 22 we've harvested 35 Thessaloniki tomatoes, at least 1 every day, 19 over the last two days.

We've traded tomatoes with friends over the last several weeks and have received figs and peaches in return.

Yesterday's high: 93.7. That's okay. And it was clearly cooler at night.

It's not clear why the harvest nearly doubled today. It just is.
