This summer has actually been wetter and less hot than the last one. That doesn't mean it hasn't been hot, its just been less so. Anyway, my plants are doing ok. I harvested the muskmelon in the picture ( or cantaloupe) the other day from my vine trellis in the front yard. It's the most aromatic melon that's ever graced my olfactory scenes. The small potatoes I pulled a while ago, they are all that's left of what I harvested before it got too hot and my potato plants fried in the sun.
My backyard experiments have proven failures, the lack of sun just won't sustain anything I try to plant. It's kind of discouraging, becasue that's the only semi-large space I really have to plant
In other news, I',m getting a small plot in at the Frisco community garden. Yeah, I didn't know it existed either until recently. Most of the food they grow goes to the community food bank, as I understand it. I 'm excited to help out. I already shoveled several truck loads of mulch on Saturday for the garden. It was fun as shoveling mulch can be.
