John and I both prefer summer weather but I really like hot summers. This week I've been home and enjoying (so far) the hottest week of the year. Don't get me wrong, it is HOT out there and the humidity is a complete drag but this is perfect summer weather in my book. I'd choose a 97 degree Fahrenheit day (the current temperature) over any that's below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
While inside taking a break from the heat to re-hydrate and refuel, I thought it would be the perfect time to make a new blog post. The garlic was harvested last weekend! It looks and smells fabulous.
It is exciting to see the plants that made it to the garden growing like mad. After moving the hill of delivered top soil to the new raised bed frame, vegetables got planted about a month later than I would have liked. Still, there are plenty of green maters on the vine, several yellow squash that have already been harvested (and eaten!), serrano and jalapeno peppers, string beans, cucumber and a nice variety of herbs growing. Oh, a butternut squash plant that's small yet but doing well.
I'm heading back outside now to cut the front lawn and move a few more wheelbarrow loads of soil that remains on the driveway. I'm dirty and sweaty and kind of smell like a man right now, but I don't mind. When I shower later I'll be squeaky clean and grime free.
