Heaven knows I need a reason to laugh. The high heat coupled with very little rain has just about destoyed my garden. Everything is drying up, blooming has almost stopped, and the vegetables that were forming have cooked on the vine.<br /><br />Very early this morning I ventured out to gather three nice tomatoes that I have been watching patiently, but something beat me to them. Probably a thirsty raccoon; they (the tomatoes, not the raccoons) were on the ground with a big chunk<br />eaten out of each one. Somehow, (I can't explain it) the smart little varmints have not bothered the sweet corn, which I had expected. In fact,<br />my neighbor and I are having Silver Queen for lunch today.<br /><br />Thankfully, my discouragement never lasts more than a few minutes and then I am good to go again.<br />Next year's garden plans are already on the drawing board of my mind. Irrigation and maybe some kind of shading are a couple of things I will give some thought too. And, just maybe, if the city will allow it, a least one strand of electric wire will be added to the existing fence.<br /><br />Glad to hear that a snake has taken up residence in your garden. I wish I had one in mine. They do much good.<br /><br />My beekeeper friend had a booth with a lot of bee equipment on display at our local market this morning. His mini-seminars were scheduled for later in the day but when I told him I could not stay for one, he very generously spent a good bit of time answering my many questions. I have found that the people who love what they do are almost always willing to teach others. What fun! <br /><br />I find it delightful that Ora and Walter are doing so well and giving you so much pleasure. But then, how could it be otherwise!vicreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07962692566809805866noreply@blogger.com
