Bummer Summer

This summer has been a bummer, in the garden and for life in general. But - there are always positive things that spring out that keep me going. I went out this morning (before the excessive heat warning goes into effect for the next 4 days) to check on things in the garden.

I found NINE cantaloupe. Not two, not four....NINE. In fact, I found 11 but two were already mush. I can't believe it. I realized as I dropped them on my front porch, that I have a lot of produce accumulating - good thing I'm visiting friends and family this week!



There is a mix of peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, cantaloupe and a few more mutant eggplants. The garden hasn't turned out quite like I was hoping - but I am going to be satisfied with what I've achieved!
