July 19 2015

It's been quite a while since I've posted - over a year.  I guess time does fly whether I'm watching it or not.  In the depths of the past winter, I could harly believe ANY temperature would ever seem too hot again.  But of course now that the snow is just a distant memory, and even the seven story snowpile in Boston has finally melted, today's 95+ degrees with humidity about the same has indeed hit the "too hot" button for me. While most of the flowers and vegetables remain as confused as I (very cold all May and June and acutally July until yesterday), we have had a good crop of cilantro, harvested a dozen or more decent garlic bulbs, are starting to get really tasty cucumbers, and have had intermittant strawberries for a few weeks.  Alas, the tomatos and peppers are not having fun yet, as they prefer many days like today.  Perhaps they're yet to come...

For your viewing pleasure, here are some summer color shots - at last!
