Vineyard Gardener
What a relief! The humidity has finally lifted and the nights have cooled enough for comfortable sleep.
I do enjoy a good Labor Day storm. It puts a definitive end to the summer.
Between the weeds and the lack of rain it is difficult to keep a positive attitude. How do weeds get so huge with nary a sip of water.
I love this time of year. Full-on high summer is a bit much for me.
I have lived on the Vineyard for 46 years and do not remember a day as hot and miserable as last Sunday.
Will we ever get rain? NPR mentioned yesterday that the entire state is experiencing a drought.
Many times I’ve said there is not much to gardening except recognition. Naturally, love of the subject is a huge plus.
I want to complain about the hot and humid weather but given the situation in most of the country I cannot justify it.
I’m a broken record. I’ve done nothing all week but complain about the lack of rain.
I come from a long line of women who preserved food.
I have no one to blame but myself. I spent Monday’s holiday making sense of my own yard.
I heard on the radio that a mere 3/10 of an inch of rain fell the entire month of June. I feel totally aware of that fact.
