Hot Hot Hot!

Wow, like most of the country, we are having a hot, dry summer.  On average, our area gets about 4.5" of rain between June 1 and mid-July.  This year, our total for that period is 1.18" :-( We need to water the garden every day.  But it is worth it - the garden looks great!  We enjoyed our first cherry tomatoes this week!  And surprisingly, the lettuce seems to be holding up in the heat.  The eggplant have flowers but no fruit so far.  And I'm wondering when the beans will flower?  But that is part of the joy of gardening - the anticipation and discovery of the mysteries of nature.
