Patchy to areas of dense fog tonight and early Friday, then partly cloudy skies and warmer as we wrap up the work week.

Today was a great day, to dig in the garden. I harvested my cherry tomato plants and now have some green tomatoes for pickling.

In a 20-gallon pot, one sweet potato grew four pounds of tasty tubers!
