It has been a hard summer here so far in the garden. The alternating heat & extreme wet is stressing the plants. We are doing our best to care for them in this dichotomy of conditions. We had several bouts of 90's by the end of June. When you add to that the 9+ inches of rain from 7/09 - 7/23( two weeks time) in my yard, it has been hard on the plants We have lost peppers & beans to pests, kale and lettuce to rotting, and the berries stopped fruiting in the wet spell.
These are the 1st 2021 TOMATOES! These are along side today's harvest of fennel, wax beans and cucumber on the bottom.
I am reminded to enjoy the moment often this year. Mother Nature had this so show us a few nights ago.
Last week I had the privilege of seeing a one women show on RIT campus that was invitation only. It was incredible. As we left the theater and headed to our cars, another attendee pointed to the moon. When I arrived home it was still peaking through the clouds. This is phone pic without filters. Wishing I had a long lens on campus for the great shot there.
