NONE of my basil came up this year. May have drowned, but the other stuff I planted the week before is fine. Unfortunately the nasturtiums and borage don't really make the kind of pesto I'd like...;-)

Sun is out today, though thunder showers predicted for afternoon. And hot. I just think it's great that morning's breakfast, music and reading of the Declaration of Independence won't be poured on like last year. And Tom is reasonably mobile, too (he still couldn't put weight on his ankle last year) so the music party afterwards is on the schedule, too.

Later,
Linn
