Thought I would ask for some more recent, middle-of-summer updates.

Here in New England, it has been very hot and humid, and dry up until a few days ago. My beans, melons, cucumbers, collards, carrots, tomatoes, etc were hanging in there, but were looking a bit crispy. The snap peas and radishes are done.

We had rain 2 days ago, and I went out for a quick check this morning to see how things were looking. I was amazed at how fast things have grown in just a few days! The mustard greens in pots grew about 5 inches, and the cukes and melons have blossoms. The heirloom tomatoes I started from seed in late May might actually produce some tomatoes! Very exciting!

And how are things in your little patch of earth?
