HOT HOT HOT

We haven't been to the garden plot today, but our early morning there yesterday was quite surprising.

Everything has grown in spite of the intense heat. We expected to see some signs of heat stress, but everything is thriving.

After our initial planting of cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, one yellow squash plant, herbs and marigolds (they keep bugs away from the tomatoes) I realized, I would like some zuchini. I was at Home Depot and found one scrawny forgotten plant and bought it anyway. It is now twice the size and has flowers.

We met a fellow gardener, Prince, and he offered to let me pick some red currants to make jelly. He has been gardening there for quite some time.
