Update #2 - August 2026

 More beastly hot weather, but a little progress on chapter 7. I've put the jigsaw pieces together and edited them enough to tell the story from Gwion's point of view, but they'll need more editing. I've had computer problems as well, and am currently working on my new desktop rather than my aging laptop. This is why I have two computers, tied together with Dropbox.

I have dozens of ripe small tomatoes now, and some Romas, but no large ones - one of the Cherokees died abruptly and the other and the Brandywines keep developing blossom end rot. I guess this is why having several varieties is good! The beans are not doing well at all - maybe they will set a few when the weather gets cooler. To be honest I grow them mostly for beauty, but it would be good to get some fresh seed. 

Three more days in the 90s, then hopefully some cooler weather with thunderstorms. May it be so!
