Weather:

We continue to have 90’s to 100 degree weather.  We did have rain last Wednesday which was nice.

Plantings:

I have planted a ton of basil and am hoping that it will mature before the the first frost, which I think it will. 

Activities:

The heat has been keeping my time in the garden to a minimum.  I have been out to water and pick snap peas, strawberries and zucchini and finally I am starting to get tomatoes. My pumpkin plants are twice as large as last year and so are the pumpkins.   

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

I need to pull out my snap peas and plant a new crop.  I also plan to plant some more lettuce.  I have put a net over the strawberries, to keep the birds out.  The strawberries are sweet but kind of small.

All and all the garden did pretty well.  I need more room - wait until next year.
