Second Summer

It has been a long, hot summer. Looking back at my journal high heat and humidity eased up on us the last week of June and has been here with, maybe, three days off-just the facts, y'all. We are now moving into our third month of summer misery. All gardening takes place between dawn and 10:00 a.m. I liken August to February in that we are mostly trapped indoors in conditioned air.

Now is that time when I am planting a second crop of early summer veg. Fungus attacked my first plantings of green beans. Combined heat and humidity is bad, really bad for all but field peas and okra which are chugging along just fine.

They were so cute!
