Good morning everyone. Thanks for the thread Red. Yesterday we got a welcome relief from the heat wave here in Missouri. July came in at the hottest since 1936, and also less rain than usual(only 1 day).

We got about 1/16 of and inch of rain yesterday afternoon and knocked off about 10-15 degrees of heat.

We have a cool 73 degrees on the way to a high of 87, and tonight’s lows of 72. Possible rain today. Bed # 1 and #2 gets sun from about 10am to sundown, so I finally had to put up makeshift shade using old sheets this past week.

Squirrel stole the only tomato that was almost ripe. Decent crop of corn from bed #1 was harvested this week, and several pints of green beans.

Grapes are almost ripe, so Hubby covered them with netting. We ordered seedless, but so far they all have seeds.

I spent a little time in the garden this morning, but am having a LAZY attack, so I didn't do much. Just doing some research on various topics.

Have a great weekend. God Bless.

That is exactly what I have been doing.
