Penny, I read somewhere recently that melons are a natural diuretic.

I'm glad you had a great day on the water, Michelle! I hope you got a few photos while you were out there, but will understand if your hands were so full that there wasn't an opportunity.

I cleaned up in the yard today - moved the brush from the top of the old compost (put it on the other side of the back fence) and shoveled the great finished compost from that pile on top of the other compost pile that is also finished. I'll have some great soil to work with this fall and next spring. I'm hoping that Zeke will decide that the old compost site is the next place to dig and I can fill in around the patio where he has put in a couple of major trenches.

There was a large native sunflower that I took down to make room in that bed for fall stuff. I have a couple of grape tomatoes to see if I can get some good sauce this year. The earlier ones were for general use and I diced most of them.
