To all the lovely people,

I hope everyone is well and enjoying what looks like a good garden season in spite of having little water to work with. The weather has been very good and my food garden is humming along. Tomatoes and peppers are setting and the beans, corn, and potatoes are growing fast.Our first zinnia is flowering now also.

Paul
