Nope. no pics. too busy, but I’ll find something for you to look at tomorrow. Maybe.
I really need the weather to cooperate, I need a lovely dry day tomorrow so that I can capture just the right picture. I hope it all turns out okay. All this rain managed to do was turn the dust on all the leaves into a protective coating of mud. Hmmm great for plant growth.
I’ve given up on any real production in the Market Garden so now all I care about weather wise is for my own personal pleasure and silliness.
Did I mention how much I didn’t like this last May and June? And now with the foggy mornings this last month, my lovely jungle of green tomatoes is definitely lacking in heat units to turn them red, or heck not even orange yet. Only about three or so have rippened, well the ones I’ve found, Bet may be stealing them out from under my nose.
But then I suppose if you work at a famous coffee shop you might have enjoyed and profited from this trashy summer weather. Hot drinks in the morning to clear peoples foggy brains in the fog. And then a quick switch to iced syrup in afternoon when the fog burns off and the themometer jumps twenty degrees. So I’ll stop complaining Dear Coffee Stand manager, before you call me up and tell me that the weather has been perfectly lovely. Yes, by all means it has.
Oh, look, duck for cover, the pigs are flying again.
Senor Cerdo is still in his place in our garden so he isn’t one of the swine squadron in PNW! My garden has been the total pits this year – one zucchini worth eating, 3 cucumbers and about a handful of tomatoes – oh and a bumper crop of those nasty green tomato worms! But that is the way of agriculture even on a tiny scale – we don’t order the winds, rains or sun – but we are adopted into the family of the one who does!
make some delicious fried green tomatoes. i LOVE them!

Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANNY!!
I guess I missed it already, huh? We’ve been out of town so no computer time lately.
I’m really enjoying the change in the header pictures. It’s fun to come here and see what you’ve chosen.
And I’m complaining with you about this weather…. what happened to our lovely summer? We were over in Central Oregon (the high desert) this weekend visiting family and the sunshine was out and the temps were in the 80’s. AAhhh… it was great!
But not here near the coast. Foggy, damp and cold.
I like your post its good to take us readers off on a tangent every now and again. As for the marigolds, waste not want not etc.
Wishing you good weather and ripe tomatoes, Lanny.
Hi Lanny, Sorry about your weather. We mostly have suffered with heat this summer – most days right around 100 degrees.
Lanny: The woes of the farmer are so many. Just when you think you don’t have enough water you have a drought. Hope things start to co-operate for you.
