Mr. Man thinks we need to hoist up some flags on those posts sticking up off of the tomato box, (they're electrical something or other from Homey-D).
These are pictures of the S.S. Tomato, if you click on the them you can see my fancy red line outlining the tomatoes:

And here they are today, June 6th:
If you haven't noticed, I have figured out how to install a weather widget in the upper right hand corner of the blog and it displays my local weather. If you click on it it gives the full weather outlook for me.
Anyway, it's officially summer here and we're looking at some hot and humid weather this weekend, I'm talking tropical. Last night was gross and we finally broke and turned on the A/C and of course it didn't work. Ha-ha. Every other year it needs a good goose of lovin' from the HVAC service. A few years ago, the guy came in after looking at the unit for like one minute and asked, "Has anybody been doing some pruning around the A/C unit?" Mr. Man had managed to weed whack through the power to the A/C unit. Whoopsie. This year the umpteen year-old A/C needed a goose of freon. Mmm, chemicals.
So yes, I'm cold and loving it. And yes, tomorrow morning when I walk outside to liberally apply ancient horse poop to the garden my glasses will steam up. Brrrr. Frosty.
I am. NOT. looking forward to summer suddenly slamming into us tomorrow (Saturday). I'm sitting here in a sweatshirt, for heaven's sake! And tomorrow's temp is supposed to hit up to 95. Yucky enough for me, but the poor rabbits! They don't do so well with that quick change, especially sky high. So - assuming I can walk tomorrow - I'll be nose checking all afternoon. I might be able to get through it without AC but I may have to turn it on in case the rabbits need emergency help. Of course, that's assuming no one weed whacked through my power source. Ha!!

Oh my! YOur morning temperature is our forecasted high for the day! Around this time of year, I am thankful to be living where I live. Not so much in January, but July around here is lovely and hot, but not too hot!
Are your tomatoes determinate or indeterminate? They are growing like crazy! My tomatoes are only about 6-8 inches high. But then again, I only planted them last weekend!

Have I ever been out of it. Great new blog look!
Our weather hasn't been any cooler here and I'm further south than you!
Your garden looks great, BTW. Love those tomatoes!
