Friday...

Too busy to blog today, but here's another garden picture: summer in the cold frame...

Monday...

No writing over the weekend, which was mostly occupied with various Lughnasadh celebrations. Weather continues too hot for comfort here, but looks like we might gt some thunderstorms soon, which will cool things off a bit. I'm having trouble imagining rainy pleasant Ireland while sweltering here...

Sunflower season now:

And some of my large tomatoes are finally showing color...

Friday...

Almost Lammas, and harvest in the garden is going great: squash, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, beans... Here's some of what I've picked in the last couple of days (there were also two zucchinis and more tomatoes, but we ate them):

Some of the corn is seven feet high and starting to bloom... Back to work now.

Summer...

We've had a lot of rain in the last week, and everything in the garden is growing like crazy - including, of course, the grass and weeds. But the corn has been particularly impressive:

Writing's not going quite as fast, but I'm trying to get back on track after the midsummer distractions. Back to work...
