Slow and steady wins the race, Mario....except if you are racing weeds.


Mary,

A second planting of tomatoes or beans, though it might get too hot for the beans to bear well. (sez one who does not like okra, but isn't eating out of your garden, either.) Or a second planting of squash or cukes? You are a bit further north but I don't think your climate is that much different from mine. Down here, tomatoes, cukes and squash tend to succomb to disease long before the growing season is over and a lot of people start a second planting in early summer to harvest later in the season.

Talked to my neighbor about that Oak that straddles the property line. She noticed the holes when mowing last night and is also concerned. We have agreed to split the cost of having it taken down if the power company is not responsible. I e-mailed the power company tonight to ask them to come take a look. Crossing my fingers that they will take care of it.
