#hiking #PNW Hiked to Surprise Lake in the Central Cascades off of Hyw 2 yesterday. The clear waters of the lake were emerald green.

#gardening #GrowYourOwn #tomatoes Lots of varieties of tomatoes starting to ripen now, but the next one in most quantity are the Jaune Flamme. These are yellow/orange, about twice the size of cherry tomatoes. Third year I've planted them and they are now one of my favorites for salads and eating fresh.

#gardening #GrowYourOwn #tomatoes Next variety to ripen are the Costoluto Fiorentino. A medium-sized ribbed, relatively early, heirloom. We eat them fresh, but use them for roasting later in the season when the later heirlooms come in.

#gardening #GrowYourOwn #tomatoes First tomatoes of the year! These are Stulpice, an ultra-early variety that used to be the only one I could reliably grow in our previously cool coastal PNW summers. Now, its about a week or so ahead of the other heirloom varieties.

California Sea Lions at the Shilshole Marina yesterday. There were probably over 150 of them covering two docks. Most were sleeping with a handful noisily barking.
