     went out yesterday morning expecting to pick 6-8 buckets of   
   tomatoes and ended up picking between 11-13 buckets instead.   
   which meant for a busy day of tomato canning.  i'm happy for   
   it though as we really enjoy having our own grown and canned   
   tomatoes.   
      
     some of the tomatoes were "brain" shaped.  very irregular   
   surface and a lot of inclusions.  i suspect this is from very   
   hot weather we had during pollination, but i don't know for   
   sure.   
      
     another issue was that there was some animal that had chewed   
   on many fruits (probably raccoons).  i picked everything that   
   was ripe enough so i can finish up getting things canned for   
   us.  don't know how many more will be damaged.  i did hear   
   noises from the garden late last night.  the garden is fenced   
   but there is no certain way to keep raccoons out with the kind   
   of fence we currently have and i don't have any funds at the   
   moment for replacing any of that anyways.  an eventual goal   
   of mine will be to upgrade some fences and to add more but   
   that won't be happening anytime soon.
