A Very Good Book

June 30:

When the temperature is as hot as it is now, we work in the Morning, take a break in the Afternoon, and head back to the Garden in the Evening. That early Evening Light is radiant in the Garden.

Being in the Garden is like being in the middle of an opening Flower. Things are constantly changing. We see changes from one visit to the next. The Warm Season Plants are coming on growing by leaps and bounds, while the Cool Season Plants are either gone or on the Wane. The Weeds are taking every opportunity to cover the Bare Soil.

Sometimes we note that Plants need attention. For example, as we move into another Hot Spell, most of the Plants need to be mulched to keep them cooler, to aid in moisture retention, and to keep Soil from compacting and eroding.

We 3 C's don't want to miss a thing. It's like reading a very good Book. You just cannot put it down.
