We are supposed to get more rain and severe thunderstorms all the way into tonight, followed by four partly cloudy days, then more thunderstorms into the weekend.
With this wonderful forecast, I skipped watering the plants this morning and took a photo of them instead.

Hi! Welcome to gardening and the garden blogosphere. I've enjoyed reading about the beginning of your garden adventure. I remember well being where you are now just a year ago.
Don't fret about your tomatoes, they're right on schedule for our area. I only have baby tomatoes on the cherry tomato plants and blossoms on the full-size plants. Last year we didn't get our first ripe tomato until mid-August. The local farmers get a jump on us home gardeners with cold frames, grow sheets, greenhouses, etc. We should get the first locally grown tomatoes at farmers markets in mid- to late July.
Anyway, your dad is right, you're going to have a huge harvest. And you could totally plant greenbeans and harvest a bunch of them. It's not too late at all. I planted on the 4th of July last year and more greenbeans than we could eat. If you'd like some Royal Purple Bush bean seeds, I have plenty to share. For peas you can try to plant in late summer for a fall harvest, but I tried last year and we had a long Indian summer and mine didn't produce.
Oh, and you might want to open your comments to non-Blogger folks like myself.
