Crazy Garden!

The secret to getting a summer garden harvest when it's 105+ for many days:
Keep the water timer going.
Walk away and ignore the whole thing.
Looks like I'm going to get Granny Jensen's sweet relish made after all!

I don't know how you keep up the momentum. You are a master gardener in my book
I was so excited in the spring, anticipating all the harvest, now now my garden is producing like crazy but a like a mini-jungle.
I wrestled with my crook-neck squash plant yesterday.
He won.

Wow, what a small world. I can't believe they are in your Ward. I just love Dusty and Chelsea (mostly I know Chelsea). It is such a sad, sad thing.

We thought the water timer was working just fine in July because our sprinklers and bubblers were coming on...but NOT the drip system. Oh, NOOO! Before we knew it, we lost a large red tree rose that was about 12 years old, as well as a gorgeous cape plumbago shrub that we just planted in the spring. Bummer! :P

Oh, I wish I could send you some of the rain we've been having.
Those look wonderful!
