| Weather: |
| Mid fifties during the day, in the teens over-night. Clear and breezy. |
| Plans: |
| Do a site map of the garden. Post it on the web. |
| Activities: |
|
| Miscellaneous Notes & Observations: |
| I got the lilies I ordered. Need to get those planted along with the garlic. Still need to cut back the flowers out by the barn.
I think that I am in pretty good shape going into the fall. I filled all my water jugs so that at least for the first part of the winter I will have water for the herbs. Can’t wait until spring so I can start again. |

| Weather: |
| It started raining last night, looks like we are going to have rain for the rest of the day. The forecast is for cooler weather, fall is on it’s way. |
| Plans: |
| I am working on building a trellis for cucumbers. I have a tire that I will use to plant them in, Richard has built a box for it. |
| Activities: |
| I cleaned up the area between the driveway that goes to the workshop and barn. I don’t know what I’ll plant in there but by Spring I should have something in mind. |
| Miscellaneous Notes & Observations: |
| We bought 25# of grass seed this weekend. Richard is on vacation this coming week and with the rain today it might be a good time to put down some seed. |

Weather:
High 80’s cooling off nicely in the evening. I think that this has been the coolest July we have had since we have moved here.
Plantings:
I am taking a chance here and planting a fall crop of:
- Spinach
- Snap Peas
- Beets
I hope the that weather will hold through September so that I will be able harvest this late crop. Next year I will be able to gage better when to plant the second season.
Activities:
Picked strawberries sliced them and will eat them for lunch during the week. Picked zucchini and butternut squash; sliced and froze them using my foodsaver. Cut back the herbs, they were getting pretty big. I pulled the beets today, cleaned and boiled them I will freeze these as Richard likes beets, I don’t.
Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:
The tomatoes are coming along very well. I would think in the next week or so I will have cherry tomatoes. The beefstakes will take a little longer.
The zucchini and butternut squash are producing very well I think that I will have to start giving it away soon cause I can’t keep up with it.
