Week 25 - It's Hot, Mama!

Yep, it's hot....Our summer bypassed Spring and already it's taken hold of us.  The temps are in the low 90's and the humidity is really high as well.
I recently saw this illustration and, pardon me if it's offensive...to me, it is appropriate to our current weather.

And it tickled me when I read it!

The summer garden is doing quite nicely...John planted 6 Roma tomato plants and 6 cutting tomato plants.  The deer got 2 of the Romas but once he put out the soap, the deer have left the plants alone.  He also planted a couple of cucumbers and a couple of bell pepper plants.  The cucumbers are sprouting blossoms and mini fruit...

The cukes won't get to be giant, only small - like pickling cucumbers...we plan on preserving them if we get enough...otherwise, we plan on eating them!

With luck, the temperatures will get back to normal for this time of year in the next few days.  We are expecting rain this week - yeah! - and with that, the temps should drop a bit.  

Not a lot to tell you this week....will post more next time.  Thanks for stopping by.
