Really liked this shot :) More of those beautiful flowers, planted in the aging stone planting boxes that dot our back yard. They overlook the dreaded TOMATOPOCALYPSE!

That's a rare sight - tomatoes going nuts.
If you get a monster crop, be sure to can or store some tomatoes for the future. They're always good to have around.
Here on the SC Coast, the soil here is all sand. When I was little, my parents tried keeping a garden. Once we had a huge crop of tomatoes; some old photos show all available windowsills nearly buried in tomatoes!
One year, we had a huge crop of green beans. That seemed to be the only thing that survived that year. We had beans at every meal, to the point we got tired of them. We also had a huge chest freezer at that time; several years later, when the freezer finally died, we found several bags of those beans in the bottom!
Some years later, a friend of ours made the mistake of planting four hills of zucchini. She referred to that year as "the zucchini plague."
Mom has tried keeping tomatoes since then, but she found another problem: birds around here attack anything red, so as soon as a tomato starts to ripen... PECK. Solution: put the tomato plants in a cage. That mitigated the problem, but any branch the plant reached out of the cage seldom had a tomato ripen beyond a blush before it got nailed.
