Sultry summer post

[joebanks]

Finally we have oppressive tropical heat and humidity above 70%! It's uncomfortable, but it's the way summer should be. We've had heavy storms and all sorts of fun.

I had my best harvest in the garden today with a meals worth of snow peas and green beans also a couple sad sized, Roma tomatoes and a tiny eggplant. The tag said the eggplant could yield as many 40 of these finger sized fruit, but there are only three and no more blossoms.

Soon i need to plant a second batch of peas, lettuce and spinach for the cooler weather days ahead (sigh).

Clear skies tonight?Time to get out and watch the Pereid's: http://www.meteorshowersonline.com/perseids.html I don't know what luck we'll have since the city lights are to the north; but it's worth a look.

Here's my Perseid link. It's got some interesting tips too. Some not so encouraging, but I think I'll give it a try-- a lot of moonlight, though.

How did people ever survive when they had to depend 100% on their own crops? Anyway, I would have died.

I'm hoping if you've got clear skies, we'll get clear skies and see some tonight...

I could never grow snow peas in the summer here! People are just harvesting them now, soon it will be too hot for them. Enjoy your summer - I'm sorry you got almost no tomatoes.

Enjoy your Perseids!

It's been a cool summer, so they have survived.

I never had much luck with eggplant. I didn't try the small ones.

I'm kind of glad now I didn't plant tomatoes, becuase then the cool weather in July would have been agonizing.

It was, here.

I saw four: three large and beautiful, and one very tiny.

We had mostly cloudy with a lot of reflection from city lights, tonight looks more promising.
