We’ve gone from torrential rain, to “pea soup” humidity here. Last night a cool front came through, taking the humidity with it. Right now it’s 80 degrees F. outside, bright sunshine, and absolutely wonderful. AHHHHH!
I took a walk around the garden and yard to celebrate and wanted to share –
GARDEN
You can see the HEIGHT of the zucchini plants here – well over my head as I stand at the planters.
Lots of vines, greenery, and blossoms. No cantaloupe as yet.
The zucchini is producing nicely.
The tops of my sweet red onions were trashed during the last few storms we had. I cut off the broken tops and trimmed the bent ones. The actual onion bulbs are looking okay, though.

You have a beautiful garden, Linda. Notice the height of your fence: Deer in the area.
Our previous residence NNW of San Antonio was loaded with White Tail Deer. Loved to watch them but those rascals could really make the garden a mess. Now can only have limited ‘Bed type’, above ground areas to plant a few things. Miss the old place.
Take care. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Thanks for your nice note, Carl, AND the encouragement. Yes, we have the fencing for the deer. Usually I have dayglo tape strung so that the deer don’t run into the fencing. We also put chicken wire around the bottom to keep little critters out. This has been a weird year for the garden. WAAAAY more rain than usual followed by a FAST warm up that did the lettuce in. Not before I had a great harvest, though. I’ve learned, though, that I can just sew spinach seeds directly in the garden out there, rather than trying to grow plants in the greenhouse and then transplant. I’ll do that next year. The zucchini and cantaloupe are new experiments. Thanks again for your note.
