Something is getting under my fence and nibbling on the bush beans. I can't figure out where. I suspect baby rabbits. I can't spot trails or tracks, though, so I don't really know.

This weekend will be time to start seeds for cole crops for the fall here. I know I'll start kale, but maybe not much else that I can't wait and direct seed. Broccoli is not a crop with which I seem to have much luck. Insects and four-leggeds always seem to beat me to harvest.

Couldn't help myself---began spot watering the dahlias and irrigating the first of my big front mixed beds and borders. It has been consistently hot and dry for too long. Even the cone flowers and Stoke's Asters are staying wilted until it is dark out. I'm not willing to let the perennials die.
