Weather Notes:
- Fortunately, it hasn't gotten as hot as our weather forecasts have predicted!
- Small rainfall amounts are welcome, but tend to evaporate out of the ground quickly.
- With the fairly frequent rain showers, the humidity has been high and so has the heat index!
Garden Notes
- Every day has been busy with preserving. The month began with daily picking and canning of peaches, cucumber pickles, or greens. I've been able to rotate these in a way to keep busy but not overwhelmed.
- Sadly, something ate all of my dill transplants so I've had to buy dill for the pickles.
- The peas are about done. I'll have plenty of seed to save for next year. I should try some of the dried ones in soup this winter. Maybe make a pea powder?
- Lettuce all bolted by the end of the month, but little Swiss chard leaves are nice in salad.
- Cherry tomatoes came on toward the end of the month, so our salads are now mostly cucumber and tomato.
