Plants are looking stellar Paul!
I'm glad to hear summer is finally upon you.
Send me some rain...LOL
Thanks, buddy - I'd send some rain, but we
haven't had any since June 18! Feels like we
finally have a summer, alright!

Seed pods and summer pods? Never heard of those terms before. What are those?
Seed pods are just the pods I select to save seeds from.
Summer pods are the pods that set after the first round
of runts. In this climate, the first pods are always small
and runty due to the cold Spring weather. Once Summer
gets here, the plants start setting real pods.

I'm getting all caught up on my buddies and you are my first stop, Paul.The plants held up well for you considering the weather.Your stretch of flowers and pods should be coming with all those healthy plants.Have a great 4th my friend.
Thanks, my friend. At least the plants are still alive. The
pampered second round plants look great, since they
didn't have to contend with the crummy spring weather
we had this year.

I think, I'm all caught up. Great looking plants Paul. Yard still looking good. Shade cloth is helping me big time. If I could just get the green house temps down. Lots of blossom drops from most of the Chinese. Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.
I had a nice looking lawn this year. Even composted and added seed. I had a breakdown a couple weeks ago. LOL! I have to hand water every day. The work days got longer and the grass started dying. I gave up and now it's a beautiful brown color. The good thing is I don't have to cut it anymore. LOL!
I hope they get those fires under control. It is so dry out. I'm suprised we haven't had a big one yet. Ours are usually started by lightning. Tonight was the first time I've seen dark clouds. No rainfall though. Bummer. I hear that, buddy. I'm holding my breath here, although the wet Spring we had may mitigate the onset of the fire season a little. Things dry out so fast in the forest in the summer.
Keeping temps down in a greenhouse is tough in the
Summer, alright. I have stopped putting plants in there
during the hot season unless I'm moving smaller pots in
out of a thunderstorm or high winds, etc.
Sometimes I wonder if a lawn is worth it, Charles.

Paul, your plants look amazing! Also, I'm sure you figured this out already if you're using imgur now, but if not, it's real easy to do. Click on the image, click on size you want, then select/copy the BBCode part, paste that into your post.
Thanks, Peter. I figured out how to upload from my own
computer files, so don't need Imgur after all. I tried what
you said, but didn't see the size select option, so it didn't
work correctly.
