| Cutting Garden |
The "I-95 split" curse returns and we are once again missed by every storm system that goes just past us. It is maddening to watch the radar and see the rains disappear right as they approach our area. We are also in a stretch of 90+ degree days with equal doses of humidity. So I am hand-watering every day simply to keep things alive at this point.
The heat-loving plants are putting on terrific growth and that includes the zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes. All are putting our flowers and we should have fruits developing soon.

We had a small setback at the little pollinator garden right outside our garden as someone yanked out two of the Borage plants right in the middle. I tried to replant them, but they won't likely survive having been ripped out on a hot day and thrown on the ground with exposed roots baking in the searing sun for who knows how many hours before I discovered them. What is wrong with people? I put a "pollinator garden" sign out there now, in case that helps.
We did get some free Common Milkweed seedlings from Bona Terra Nursery and planted them in that pollinator garden strip too. They are so tiny, that they likely won't all survive, but I hope a few do.

I also managed to clear out the last of the lettuce and peas. In their place is Bush Bean 'Ferrari' -- I hope they are as fast as their name promises.
I have an eye toward what we will enter this year into the Montgomery County Fair. I think the Garlic and Potatoes for sure as well as our flowers, we'll see about the tomatoes and peppers and what looks good at that time next month.
