Alice, can you send us some cooler weather? And some rain too, if you can spare it? It's been very, very hot the past couple of weeks, and today it's supposed to top 100 degrees, and possibly set a record. They keep saying "chance of thunderstorms" but they never seem to materialize, and we really need the rain. Preferably a few misty, drizzly wet days to thoroughly soak the soil. I've been watering the garden, but the sun in the daytime is just brutal. Things were looking very droopy yesterday afternoon. I watered the whole plot well, and everything looks better this morning. I harvested some pattypan squash, cucumbers, and carrots. Some of the tomatoes are starting to turn. I can't wait till I can make tomato sandwiches dripping with juice.
