It is miserable to know something needs taken care of but don't feel well enough to take care of it. Funny how things are are different in different areas. My mother taught me to put the gigger on after the first sight of steam. We have broken heat temp records all week, with no rain for the last 2 months. I have so many tomatoes on my vines they cannot nourish all plus the heat and the vines are dying and the sun is just scalding beautiful tomatoes. I am picking all the green ones and making green tomato pickles. So sad :-( About to make Dub's sweet bread with fruit. It sounds wonderful. Oh Bonnie, so sorry about your allergies.

For the first time, we are way, way behind on our garden this year. We do have some squash blooming finally, but had to replant after the freeze about 6 or 7 weeks ago. I had been down for a month with allergies because of the worst allergy season the doctors had ever seen in this area. Now, we are going to try to get out early in the mornings and late in the evenings and play the old "catch up" game. My greasy back beans are doing well, and we have greens, peas, Ford Hooks, and a few other things planted. The asparagus is still coming up but I was too ill to stay with it. Much of it has now gone to fern. That's okay, more for next year! Dub, I let the steam vent for about 10 minutes before I put my jiggler on. Why? 'Cause Mama did! My brother tells me it has been hotter up here than down there a few days. I'm not surprised. We have broken records in this heat wave we're having, and they tell us it is going to hang around for a while. OUCH! Today, we are just sitting inside with the AC going and letting the world go by. Please keep us informed about Deb! Good show, good people; the veggies are beautiful! For the first time, we are way, way behind on our garden this year.
