I Just Planted the Hell Out of Some Bush Beans

Lettuce, cabbage, a couple pounds of strawberries. Three jars of pickled beats. Lovin' it. My late spring harvest is in, all my hopes lie with summer. Nine tomatoe planst, eight or so squash, mellons etc. As they said in the eighties, the heat is on. The last of the cool weather crops have given way to the summer standards. Pray for sun, pray for rain. The normal balance that inlanders enjoy, we on the edge can only dream. I've got friends in VA that water twice a week. I wish! But, blazing sun is blazing energy. I've got two rain barrells. I'm ready for the worst. And, I'm sure I'll see it. I've got plans for berries and fruit trees, I'm a month late, but such is life. We'll see how it goes.
