1/2" of rain - I'll take it!

Finally, Mother Nature threw this old dog a bone and gave us some rain! Yipee! So much is going on in the garden. We have lots of tomatoes, squash, and birdhouse gourds. We have cucumber, a watermelon and pumpkins are forming and starting to stay on the vine.

Bees are so covered with sunflower pollen they can hardly fly around and the black-eyed susan's are robust! Figs are trying to get bigger and the strawberries are still sending out lots of daughters. The greens on the horseradish are huge (which I hope indicates huge roots!) and the eggplant continues to bloom, but has yet to set fruit.

Hopefully some forecasted cooler weather and rain will further help our plants rebound from the recent hot and dry spell.
