sunshine, not much rain, but overall the gardens are humming along.
with six beehives in the neighboring field almost any patch of flowers we have are beeing harvested.
the heat has been in the mid-90s here or there, tolerable to me as i don't go out in the middle of the day. siesta and reading works. most days we don't need the AC much if we open the patio doors at night to cool the house down. use it once in a while more as a dehumidifier.
the patches i've been trying to weed are fun, i have to water them several times if i want to have any chance of getting the shovel down far.
too hot to do much transplanting or heavy work. watering, light weeding when i can get to it. in a few more weeks the temperatures will moderate. we should be starting in on some tomatoes by mid-August.
cucumbers are busy now, peppers look to be doing ok, well, everything looks to be doing ok.
rains, that's our hope. we've gotten a few more rains, but not enough to catch up or to get the places i need it most down deep. moving those trees in the late spring was really not a good idea... they are doing well, but having to water them to "be sure" they don't fry in this heat is a waste of time i could have done without. next time, i will be more firm and say, "No, we're waiting until fall."
ok, enough meanderings from me, hope y'all have a great day. :)
