Good morning. 62-89F, warmer for a few days, dry also. Coffee group, then lunch with the gals. We spread lots of last year’s shredded leaves in the garden for mulch as the soil is beginning its usual cracking. Too wet, then too dry. I see a lot of plants grown in metal containers are having a...

Good morning. 55-82F and dry. The storms passed right over us, and onto eastern CO. CG stuff this AM, then home for more of the same. Garlic is still too green to dig up, maybe I’ll wash a few pots and buckets, or not. Have a great Thursday. Stay cool and healthy.

Good morning. Last day for cooler temps, nice sleeping weather. We had 1/2 hr. of rain yesterday, no hail luckily. Harry, I’m sorry you have the dreaded beetles already. Since our garden is very late, maybe they will go elsewhere (probably not). I’ll check out the flowers this AM. Lunch w/a few...

Good morning. 60-82F, WX predicted rain for the past 2 days - maybe today. CG to water, then a meeting and a luncheon with the gals. Like DR, I still have/had plants to either throw or plant in pots. Hope to get more done today. Enjoy the day as best you can. These heat indexes I’m seeing for...

Good morning. The cool temps have returned for a couple of days, will send them East to you after we’ve cooled off. Monday errands and coffee group, then check out weeds in the garden. The weeds are winning. Enjoy your day, take time for others. Stay strong, Chuck.

Good morning. 63-90F, sunny. Chuck, you are a trooper through your knee struggles. Stay positive. We celebrated Fathers Day yesterday, nice to play games and talk. Today’s pretty quiet, one more day of heat. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Stay cool, celebrate your accomplishments.

Good morning. 65-98F, sunny. We’re celebrating Father’s Day as everyone is in town. Lunch at a Mexican place, then here to play games. One more day of summer heat, then WX has given us a few cooler days. DR, I always plant beans and beets after the garlic - 2nd week in July - so there’s hope...

Good morning. The temp rose to 98F yesterday, it’s supposed to reach 3 digits the next 3 days. Luckily we’re pretty dry, so we don’t have quite so many bugs. Going to the CG this AM and plant beets next to the earlier ones that didn’t sprout, plus weed a bit. We’re celebrating Father’s Day...

Good morning and 🎂 happy birthday to Sonya 😊. CG watering and PT this AM. Higher temps for a few days, 90’s and above. Hopefully I can clean up more on the patio and wash a few buckets, pots. I still have lots of flowers to clean up. Enjoy this beautiful day. Don’t overdo working in the garden.

Good morning. Gentle rain yesterday, heat returning on Friday. Coffee group, a few errands, then iris deadheading. We were lucky we didn’t get the hail NE of us - hope it didn’t carry over to KS. Enjoy your day, stay healthy for the summer.

Good morning. Showers are hoped for today, then 100+ temps on Friday for a few days. I finally got a few beans planted. Very late, but this year will be quite different for sure. No peaches, but neighbor’s cherry tree is laden with fruit. Sic, nice to see a new garden. Your wife is ambitious...

Chuck, your garlic sounds close to being ready, just not yet. I usually wait to dig them up after 5 or so of the bottom leaves have turned brown. I’m hoping for a July 10-15 dig. Or earlier 😊.

Good morning. 90’s again, but nice in the shade. I have an appt. with a sports injury dr., just an inquiry. Not sure what to expect. Monday errands, coffee group, then may-be the beans will finally get planted. Enjoy your day, stay safe and healthy.

Good morning and Happy Father’s Day. Yesterday I planted 2 tomatoes, no beans or cukes yet. May-be today. CG in a few to water as it’s supposed to be 95F this afternoon. Not my favorite temps. Lunch with the family has been postponed, so we get time to enjoy the heat. Have a great day. Stay...

Good morning. 57-90F, hoping to get some beans planted if the arms allow. Nice picnic yesterday, nice lazier day today. I’m hoping to actually get finished planting today with the beans and cukes. Nice to hear you are getting around to do a little gardening, Chuck. I know it’s definitely not...
