Weather:

High 80’s cooling off nicely in the evening.  I think that this has been the coolest July we have had since we have moved here.

Plantings:

I am taking a chance here and planting a fall crop of:

• Spinach
• Snap Peas
• Beets

I hope the that weather will hold through September so that I will be able harvest this late crop. Next year I will be able to gage better when to plant the second season.

Activities:

Picked strawberries sliced them and will eat them for lunch during the week.  Picked zucchini and butternut squash; sliced and froze them using my foodsaver.   Cut back the herbs, they were getting pretty big.  I pulled the beets today, cleaned and boiled them I will freeze these as Richard likes beets, I don’t.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

The tomatoes are coming along very well.  I would think in the next week or so I will have cherry tomatoes.  The beefstakes will take a little longer.

The zucchini and butternut squash are producing very well I think that I will have to start giving it away soon cause I can’t keep up with it.
