With the gift of the past week’s cool rainy spell, we are now back to our regularly scheduled program. Hot and humid days are back. However, the cool spell and the rain last week were great for getting started on the fall sowings. The beginnings of the fall greens and a first shot at peas were put into the ground. It feels good to get those previews of weather thats to come. If planting opportunities are able to be seized in those same moments it can help create a feeling of security and stability as the season moves forward. Although the same summer time pressure is still being felt, it is eased by the comfort that fall is beginning. Taking those fall actions somehow seems to help ease some of the pressure of the summer heat, weeds, picking and plucking. So on we move through summer and its final stages … and … melon harvest. YUM!
