Good morning. Beautiful sunny day with the birds chirping away. Chuck, where do you hike? Weeding, relaxing, and more basement whatever today. At least the basement has been cooler lately. Have a great Sunday. Stay hydrated and try and keep cool.

Good morning. Another warm one for a least a week, and then July will be even warmer. It’s a wonder the plants can adapt better than we can. Not much is on today’s agenda except garden stuff. Time to work on basement again. Have a terrific Saturday. Keep those water bottles close by and respect...

Good morning. Water at the CG in a few minutes, meeting up with the newer gardener to discuss ‘garden stuff’. Lunch with friends, then whatever back home in my little garden cave. I’ve been pulling larkspur from everywhere - they are beautiful but way too tall and abundant this year. The...

Good morning. Much warmer than the 2 comfortable days we just had. Summer will soon be here to stay. Nothing much on today’s agenda so the weeds will get another look at. A landscape guy will probably be doing some re-building of the property between a neighbor and us. Not looking forward to...

Good afternoon! The 14 squash plants were ‘whittled’ down to 10, with 6 eggplant. He has room for the eggplants, so after much discussion, he hoed up a row of sporadic spinach for 6 zucchini, then put the 4 yellow squash near the beets. This is his 2nd year as a gardener. We have much to learn 😎.

Good morning and Happy Birthday to Sonya 🥳. We got a touch of rain last night and high temp near 70F, no hail. That won’t last of course. Our WX guy explained that our hail has a hard, dense core that causes more damage than lower elevations. Just keep it away from here. CG soon to meet up w/2...

Good morning. We were rudely awakened by the smoke alarm about 5am, with no clue why it went off (again and again). Maybe it needs new batteries? At least it works! Cooler day to enjoy weeding, then the heat returns. WX says rain this week - hopefully no hail. Maybe we got enough last year...

Good morning. WX says a high of 94 here - maybe later. It’s cloudy and 58. Finished working at the CG, breakfast, errands, then weeding at home. Nice temps to weed in. I hope you all had a great Father’s Day. Enjoy today, take time for Mother Nature’s beauty. Enjoy the weather.

Good morning and happy Father’s Day to all you dads. Another hot June day ahead, in the high 90’s. CG to meet someone, Sunday doings, then celebrate the holiday with family. It looks like a busy but quiet day. Have a great day with family or friends. Take time for yourself and pets.

Good morning. Yesterday was a bit cooler but the warmer temps are back for the weekend. Little rain, but no hail here. Birthday gathering after garden chores, then burgers on the grill tonight. Pretty quiet weekend. Have a great Saturday. Take time for yourself and pets.

Good morning. CG is watered and now to fertilize. Yesterday’s temp of 99 at our house was unbearable. Today the WX has predicted storms that will probably go elsewhere. At least it’s cooled down a bit. I covered the beans and cukes just in case. Last year the hail did them in 3x. Have a great...

Good morning. It looks like another 95+F day, no rain today, but maybe tomorrow. I’m hoping to finish cutting the iris stalks and pulling lots of neglected bindweed. Lots of maintenance before the heat sets in. Have a wonderful day. Global warming has truly begun around here, I’m just wondering...

Good morning. It’s supposed to close to 95F this afternoon so I’m up early at the CH trying to get stuff done. All is watered, much weeded, and now to finish the scapes. I’m sure I’ll smell heavenly at coffee group! Have a wonderful Wednesday. Feed the birds, the bees, and all of Morher Nature’s...

Good morning. 59-85F and sunny. A quick storm came through at 10pm last night giving us 15 minutes of rain. We’ll take it. Today I have 2 meetings, bring hubby to have the oil changed in his car - he has to leave the car for ‘hours’ for the simple maintenance. Then I can work on irises at home...

Good morning. 55-82F. Lots of noise in the skies yesterday that left us dry. Lucky for us as SE of us got the hail along with rain. Maybe today will bring rain. Monday errands, coffee group, CG watering, a typical summer day for now. Have an enjoyable day. Take time for yourself and make...

Good morning. 55-82F w/sun for now. Yesterday was supposed to be our ‘wet’ day - 5 minutes of hail, 10 minutes of rain. Maybe tonight some rain will fall. It’s very comfortably cool with the wind, so much nicer than the 90s this past week. Planted a couple of sunflowers, a few more later. This...

Good morning. 60-85F, still dry. We’re hoping for rain tonight, then back to dry. I’m hoping to plant a tray of annuals today for the neighbor while he’s away, as the heat this past week was too much. There’s also iris cleaning and pulling weeds out of the stones at home. For now, the CG is...

Good morning. Sunny, dry, 62-92F. I’m also e at the CG just watering and enjoying watching the birds. Lots of weeds to pull, but they can wait. Garlic scapes are beginning to show, so the harvest will be a bit later than usual. It’s just not CE to see plants beginning to pop up. Have a...

Good morning. 92F in June is not enjoyable. No rain until the weekend, but WX says a chance of hail. Yuck. Got all the tomatoes, peppers, and broccoli covered yesterday, but the beans (?). They are hard to cover. Baby layettes to assemble and deliver, then lunch with friends. Enjoy your day...

Good morning. 54-90F. Yikes w/the heat so early in June. CG work this AM, replacing a flea beetle eaten tomato and planting straggler peppers. Saw a doctor yesterday that OKed me to drive - short distances anyway. That’s fine with me. I’d rather be gardening. Enjoy your day. Keep those...
