Then, there will be ones home from school for the Summer.

Strawberry Banana Cheerios with ... a banana and 2 strawberries in the bowl ;). The things DW finds for my breakfast! Then, she doesn't eat them 🙄. We will have to stay on the fruit for the next few days. She insists that eating the 2 melons can be held off for several days but, Oh My, the...

We had your 75⁰ day after a 2 day wait. Because of the heat, I had procrastinated about cleaning the roof gutter with the Summer cleaning scheduled by 4 July. Worked out well ;). The clouds built up enough that their blanket is keeping overnight heat loss low so there's no 30⁰ Fahrenheit drop...

Well, I would say that it is in the delphinium / larkspur family. We have native types here but, if it is in more than 1 color, it's probably not a wild species. Maybe a closer look at the flower ...

Yay! And, you are welcome :)!

If you need to keep on runnin and chasing those chores around in the garden. The reason:

Accomplished everything but refilling the bed with soil. Oh, and I will dump the kitchen trimmings in there. Didn't want to do that yesterday yesterday and leave them uncovered. It was just too hot, 91⁰f (33⁰C) the official high but there was a 25+ mph breeze. So, I was on my way to being...

I know nothing about this variety but Baker Creek says that it is more closely related to bok choy than Chinese cabbage. It looks like a very large, white-stem bok choy. The roots of the green-stem, small bok choy that I grow are not left in the ground after harvest. I have never felt the need...

Pulled the garlic –– it had lost color and was beginning to dry. @ducks4you , you were wondering when we do this in our gardens ... The section of the bed can be replanted with green beans for a late harvest. I will also take out the peas and, usually, the beans would follow them but they are...

You may think that I only know what humidity is like indoors in Winter, with a pot of soup cooking on the stove. With an official ⅛th of an inch of rain for the entire month of June, that would be understandable ;). But, my years spent working in a greenhouse and the many hours in a large cooler...

In my home, we would call it milk toast if, after toasting, it was sprinkled with sugar and hot milk was poured on the plate. Imagine with the flavor of carrots and apple 😊 ! Steve

what ?

Good July Morning :) Another hot day on our horizon. We had an 88⁰f (31⁰C) day in April, another 88 in May and 2 episodes of days over 90⁰f in June — this one extending into July. It is supposed to be 96f (36C) this afternoon. It is a merciful 59f (15C) right now at 5AM. Perhaps locals are...
